Women’s Shed Aotearoa founder Alex van Dam at the new shed. Queenstown's Women’s Shed Aotearoa’s new home is on track to be fitted out next month. Van Dam says seeing the new shed go from concept to reality has been a ‘‘magic’’ feeling. Women’s Shed Aotearoa now has plans to ‘‘go national’’, she says. She hopes to have another shed operating within two years — possibly in Christchurch — before taking the concept to other centres.
