workshop
Other forms: workshops
A workshop is a place you go to work. If your mother enjoys carpentry, she might have a workshop in the basement where she can build furniture.
Workshops are for making and fixing things like wooden furniture, cars, or mysterious inventions. A shorthand way to refer to a workshop is shop, as in the shop class offered in many high schools, which usually meets in a workshop. The noun workshop also means a course or meeting at which a work in progress — often a story, poem, or script — is discussed by a group of writers.
