Have you dreamt about an insta-style road trip vacation?
Well, the truth is more like living between used socks and food crumbs, UNLESS you prepare the van properly! Join us to prepare your camper van for the long weekends and the summer vacay ahead by building self-made shelves and make summer memories!
We will learn together over four sessions.
23rd of April: Introduction & Design. This session will give you an introduction to Buildher, our tools, safety, and we will get to know each other. You will also get to see the materials that we have available. Bring pictures or sketches of what you would like to build, and be ready to share some ideas and get inspired by others.
30th of April: Build. We will get started with building our shelf. Since you design what you like, it means that there is no “step by step” instruction. However, members of the Buildher team will provide guidance and a helping hand.

What are community builds?
We like to learn together in a social and low threshold way. That’s why we facilitate community builds.
Every month we choose a different theme to focus on. It can be anything from chairs, to phone stands. The fun is seeing all the different designs that come from a group working on the same topic.
Members of the buildher team will provide a helping hand and guidance, but there is no “step-by-step” instruction. Instead, we discuss what we want to make and figure out the steps. Things might not always go to plan, so be ready to have a little giggle and adapt to a new solution.
What will you gain?
Introduction to power tools
Health & safety
A community of creative people
A hand-made product to take home
A social event

Learn how to make perfect boxes from award winning furniture makers!
This is a special opportunity to learn from Norway’s Master of Furniture Design (2023) Inga Pernille Vold and from our very own BuildHer Volunteer and carpentry apprentice Aditi Haarstad.
These two fantastic carpenters will teach you carpentry basics and show you how to build a beautiful box with a sliding lid. You do not need to be a pro to join this class, you will be taught step by step. Skills you will pick up include: cutting wood on the table and circular saw and using a drill. Oiling / varnishing need to be done in your own time after the workshop.
