Drilling 101 - The Basics of Drilling (DIY Skill Share Series)

DIY and power tools can feel intimidating when no one’s ever shown you the ropes — so we’ve created a hands-on workshop series designed to give you the confidence and know-how to tackle real jobs in your own home.

We’re thrilled that VIVID Plus+ is sponsoring this series, making these workshops genuinely affordable and accessible across the city.

Our first workshop in our series is: Drilling 101 - The Basics of Drilling

In this 1.5-hour beginner-friendly session, you’ll learn how to use a drill safely and effectively, get guided practice, ask all the questions you like, and enjoy a relaxed cuppa while you build your skills. By the end, you’ll be confident enough to tackle simple tasks — like putting up that shelf you’ve been meaning to get to.

Bring your own drill if you have one; if not, don’t worry — we’ll have plenty you can borrow.

Price:

• VIVID customers: Free! Just enter the discount code provided by VIVID at checkout.
• Non-VIVID customers: Only £5 for the workshop.

Every attendee also receives:

• 1 year’s membership to the Portsmouth Library of Things

• One free tool borrow for a week

This series is open to everyone. Please note: workshops aren’t suitable for children under 16, but teens aged 14+ may attend when booked with a full-paying adult.
