Tumbleweed Tiny House Company has posted their 2011 workshop calendar. These workshops are taught by Jay Shafer and span 2-days where you learn how to design and build a tiny house of your own. You can choose to attend both days or just one. I have had the privilege of attending one of these workshops and I learned a lot and highly recommend them to anyone serious about building your own tiny home.
Day one focuses on the construction process where you learn about topics like the tools you’ll need and the special needs of a house that can be pulled down a highway. Day two is focused on tiny house design where Jay goes into detail on how he makes tiny homes comfortable and functional.
You can learn a lot about what it takes to build your own tiny house online, but taking a workshop from someone like Jay can really help fill in the gaps and I found it really worthwhile. Visit the Tumbleweed Tiny House Company website to learn more and register. Here are the dates and locations:
