Homesteading Skills Mini-Workshops in the Austin, Texas area

We are starting a series of homesteading skills mini-workshops. Next Saturday, we’re building Adirondack chairs. In December we will install a rain water collection system. In January we’ll make raised bed planters. Workshops will be typically be half days on Saturdays with less than ten participants. We're located in the Buda/Manchaca area just south of Austin.

Hey, how are things going with all this? It looks like this workshop idea never took off. Any plans to pick it back up?

I did a couple that weren't well attended. I'll probably do light clay straw and earthen plaster work parties in the winter/spring. I might also do something with lower cost materials like soap making to see if I can generate more of a following before trying more of the spendy projects.

I’m sorry they weren’t well-attended! I work at a candle shop that does pop up workshops every so often - idk if any of your ideas would be portable and palatable for beginners and creatives but my boss really cares about sustainability so I think it might be worth checking out sometime?
The branding is pretty feminine and cozy, and anything nature or botanical themed aligns well with the space. If you’re ever looking for a space to do something maybe more convenient to Austinites that live central or up north?
