sarahs history

Qualifications :
BSc in Social Anthropology from Goldsmiths College.
NVQ 1 & 2 at WEB , a women’s college in Surrey Quays (which unfortunately no longer exists).
City & Guilds in Cabinet Making from Metropolitan University in East London.

Experience :
I have been working as a carpenter for 9 years, mainly specialising in fitted furniture, kitchens and bespoke furniture in the south east London area. Last year I completed NVQ3 in carpentry and joinery. I periodically teach DIY courses to women in conjunction with WAMT, who are a charity that works to encourage and help women in non-traditional work. I also run informal courses to help women gain the skills to do work in their own homes. A few years ago I taught basic diy to women in Holloway Prison in North London. This was extremely challenging and rewarding. I have been thinking about developing this scheme of informal learning within my business. So if you and a group of your friends would be interested in learning some basic skills we could run workshops at your houses? just an idea!!
