A nearby tiny house- We'll also give you directions to many nearby tiny sights to see while you're in the area....

   YES, we're having a THIRD "Tiny House/Building Workshop", this time in Massachusetts, 10 miles outside Boston- with possible camping options available, AND your chance to stay in a few of my own micro cabins and shelters- ones that have been featured in the NY Times, Boston Globe, PBS, Apartment Therapy, The UK Daily News, Seattle Times, and beyond..... NOV 2nd to the 4th. Fri-Sat- about 25+ total hours of classroom, touring, networking, and building time. -Yes, we'll have coffee on hand! -A pizza party, MANY guest speakers, and more- its all explained below... Rain or Shine....

 Just Added (above)- aside from the building project, and the speakers, we'll be visiting the FIRST BUILT TUMBLEWEED TINY HOUSE in Boston- the initial prototype that Jay Shafer built and lived in. You're bound to get tons of design and space efficiency ideas from this trip! 

FRI- 3pm Start (check in and meet and greet, tours, hand-outs, campfire discussion, and set-up for those camping, some preliminary building too (the base of our structure)). To those arriving later, we'll re-tour/retalk about several things with you in day 2 to catch you up.

SAT- 9am to 6pm- more speakers and demos with group building project underway (under work lights, as it gets later, if need be)- with meal break in between. Comet Camper/Mobile Off-Grid Dwelling Tour. Campfire at night.

SUN- 9 am Start- Speakers, The Whittled Down Caravan Tour (a guest structure we'll have on the premises), and Building continues....We wrap at 4/5pm and head into Boston to visit the first Tumbleweed Tiny House. 

 

We'll have the FULL and final roster of speakers soon, but it looks like its going to be....Fri afternoon/evening to Sunday Evening- with MANY guest speakers- AND a collective tiny house building project that I'll post about soon!- one which I'd also like to film for my show "Tiny Yellow House" on youtube.
November 2-4 are the dates....

From July's "Tiny House Summer Camp"- one of two buildings we designed and worked on- a tiny house dubbed "THE ROCKHILL"

We're limiting this workshop to about 20 attendees, and no more...to keep it intimate, fun, and so as to give people more hands-on time. 

We'll also see/tour FOUR OR FIVE MINI CABINS on MY WORKSHOP LOT....see my salvage yard (with much talk/instruction on the subject of free-materials building), and more....

"The GottaGiddaWay" micro cabin/sleeper- which might be on hand for a guest to stay in....

One of our speaking topics, "How to save thousands of dollars, while building your own tiny home" will have a ton of ideas that will make this workshop pay for itself....from alternate materials usage, to free-cycled, and repurposed goods....

 Sage's Gypsy Wagon Tour Video...

This registration fee will help to cover materials, snacks, coffee, a heck of alot of pizza, a materials runner and hired assistant, speakers and their travel costs in some cases, location rental (one other lot we might use), extra needed tools, workbooks, and all other related set-up materials we need to have on hand- from tarps to paper towels and everything in between- it all adds up real fast.

Note: The Jay Shafer Original House, if sold, won't be in Boston anymore, which isn't likely to happen, in the case of that happening, we'll add a new demonstration, or perhaps a trip to check out some other tiny house in the area.....like I said, not likely, but just in case...
