Let’s get building ladies! Learn how to follow basic building plans. Get personalized instruction using a hammer, a power drill, a power screwdriver, a handsaw, and a tape measure. By the end of the course we will have constructed an open-air pavilion space that will be used for an outdoor bathhouse (basic) or screen hut tiny house (advanced)! With your new skills, you’ll have the confidence to take on small building projects all on your own, or with the help of your newfound friends! No experience? No problem! Get excited!

If you've always been interested in natural building and you didn't know where to begin, this is the course for you! Let's get muddy!
