Women's Wood and Metal Craftsmanship Residency

Artist and Craftspersonship Residencies/No Experience Needed:

Mixxer Community Makerspace is currently inviting women to apply for the Woodshop and Metal shop Artist in Residence Program. This program is designed to be a transformative journey for someone with an interest in learning woodworking who has limited to no experience in the practices. This program aims to elevate the abilities and artistry of women's craftspersonship while fostering a supportive community that celebrates educating those who have historically been discouraged from the craft. The goal of this program is to contribute to the broadening of skills for women and gender expansive people and the building of a community that fosters inclusivity in woodworking locally.

The program provides the training, time, space, and support needed for the artist to learn, work on their skills, and help us produce onsite activations as well as lead learning experiences for women and gender expansive people in the woodshop.

​As an artist in residence, you'll play a pivotal role in shaping the cultural landscape of our woodshop, guiding participants through immersive workshops and collaborative projects. Through your growing expertise and passion, you'll help inspire a new generation of women and gender expansive woodworkers to push boundaries and explore the possibilities of the craft.

You'll get full membership to our shops for training and practice on all of our tools for the duration of your residency, teacher training and support. Once trained, you'll be paid $20 per hour to hold intro classes on tools and have the power to hold project classes as a 1099 instructor at your own fees.

Hours are flexible, within reason.
