Refresh your closet at Girl Guitar's FREE community clothing swap. Bring clothing, shoes, and accessories you're ready to part with, and go home with some new-to-you treasures. We'll also have a mending station for quick fixes and alterations, courtesy of Laurel Goods. This event is supported by Fix-It Austin, a City of Austin Program.
FREE and open to all!
Some songs take years to finish, some songs fall out in 20 minutes, some come to you in a dream. There's no wrong way to get a song, but it's nice to have tools to jumpstart inspiration rather than waiting around for it to strike. This workshop will guide you through some writing exercises to come up with at least a great first draft of a song lyric in about an hour! Plus we'll have time to share, give and receive feedback and learn from how others experienced the process. You're welcome to bring instruments to set your lyric to music if you're so inclined! Good for beginners as well as experienced songwriters who have a bit of writer's block!
Taught by Heather Miller. For women 21+

Start From Zero is a welcoming, low-pressure workshop designed for women who have always wanted to play guitar but didn’t know where to begin — or thought they missed their chance. In this 90-minute group experience, you’ll learn the fundamentals in a supportive, judgment-free environment where questions are encouraged and perfection is not required. Guitars are available to borrow, no prior experience is necessary, and you’ll make music on day one. More than a class, this workshop is an invitation into Girl Guitar — Austin’s home for women in music — where confidence, creativity, and community matter just as much as chords.
This workshop is for women 21+.
