Sometimes you just need things to be properly broken down.

There’s a bit more to changing a drill bit than this — but this is one of those little things nobody tells you until somebody tells you.

No assumed knowledge. No stupid questions. No judgement.

Hi, it’s Justine 👋

As some of you will know, I’m not actually “the DIY one” at Nail It — but I tackled this little tiling project at home by myself.

Is it perfect? Probably not. Did I surprise myself with what I could do? Absolutely.

And that’s really the point. You don’t need to be naturally handy or have loads of experience. If you’ve got a small tiling project in mind, it may be far more within your capabilities than you think.

Come and get to grips with the basics at our Tiling Basics workshop:

📍 Beansheaf Community Centre, Calcot
📅 Thursday 10th September
⏰ 6–8.30pm

Come and have a go — you might just surprise yourself too. 🔨💪

Can someone please watch this and tell me what on earth my left leg is doing halfway through? 😂

Questionable leg decisions aside, I had a lovely chat with That’s TV about our latest funding, which is helping us bring free DIY workshops to more women in Wokingham.💪🛠️

Tiling always looks like one of those jobs that’s best left to the professionals…

…until someone shows you how.

Join us for a fun, beginner-friendly evening where we’ll take the mystery out of tiling. You’ll learn the techniques, have a go yourself, ask as many questions as you like, and leave knowing that tiling isn’t nearly as daunting as you thought.

No experience. No judgement. Just practical learning in a relaxed, women-only environment.

📍 Beansheaf Centre, Calcot
🗓 Thursday 10 September
🕕 6:00–8:30pm
💷 £80

If you’ve ever fancied learning to tile your own splashback, bathroom or utility room, this is the perfect place to start.
