HatchSpace invites our partners to host Affinity Spaces where community members can connect with others who share their identities.
Affinity spaces welcome groups who come together around an identity to experience the joy of woodworking -together.
We’ll set aside hours in the day for positive identity groups looking for safe spaces to build community. Through affinity spaces we make our shops, tools, materials and community expertise accessible to all – especially group historically marginalized from the trades. Want to learn more? Please reach out.
The Root BIPOC Affinity Space
HatchSpace is working with The Root Social Justice Center to co-host BIPOC affinity spaces. If you identify Black, Indigenous, or a person of color you are welcome to join the Summer Kick-off Series! We also welcome inquiries from any other groups who would enjoy access to our woodworking facilities as a platform for community building.
BIPOC Woodworking Affinity Space is every Monday starting June 5, from 5:30 to 8:30PM HatchSpace will reserve our shops for the BIPOC community. Our goal is to create opportunities for community building through woodworking - repair or making new things – in a safe, supportive environment
Dates are:
June 5, 12, 19, 26
July 17, 24, 31
August 21, 28
