About our shed
About Us
The Geeveston Community Workshop is a communal hub and safe space for the socially isolated, hobbyist and enthusiast alike. We have 4 lathes, and a reasonably full array of machinery. We encourage complete novices with introductory sessions and masterclasses for those looking to hone their skills. We are very involved with the Geeveston Art Show, and run our own exhibition every March for International Women’s Day. Our supervisors come from a wide range of backgrounds, all with a common love – making beautiful things! We work with our immediate community on projects like Measuring Workshops for 26TEN (Numeracy and Literacy Programme), Youth Programmes, Art Groups and providing demonstrations on antique equipment at our local Town Hall. We also run specialist sessions for groups such as Home Schoolers, LGBTPlus groups and NDIS participants as and when they are needed.

Positive impacts
The Australian Men’s Shed Association (AMSA) is the national service provider supporting more than 1,200 Men’s, Women’s and Community Sheds and is recognised as one of Australia’s largest male-based community development organisations.
AMSA was established in 2007 by a collection of Australian independent community-based Men’s Sheds to represent, support and promote the Men’s Shed movement. It was founded on the principle of sharing information between sheds and those communities wishing to establish and operate a Men’s Shed. It acts as a central hub for information exchange.
