I’ve been doing workshops with kids and 
friends for years. My best friend Shay taught me wood working in the same wood shop that I work in today. Back then when she was my mentor we were very pregnant and making lots of Christmas gifts late into the night-those were the days!
These days I am mostly inspired to build things for my homestead that I cannot find here locally in Humboldt county California. I usually want things that are built with wood so sometimes the shipping is more than the build. That’s some inspiration sure to move you brightly!
I build a lot of things from plans with Ana White if she has them because I like the way she teaches, and her plans are affordable, easy to understand, and build. I have built a few vegetable produce bins with her plans, herb planters, step stool/ladder combo, and the biggest was the Wild Rose Tiny house. This lady pro is an Alaskan Native and my one of my biggest mentors and Go To’s for building. I love her story and how years ago some of the locals laughed her out of their store instead of taking her offer up on some consignment furniture. Look who’s laughing now?!
I have designed some of my own builds like a tea cabinet, a few different carrying trays, and a jewelry rack. My friend Beth actually came up with the jewelry rack idea/design and we built 2 of them together. They turned out so nice and since then I have made several as gifts.
Workshops are private and scheduled. Email me with any questions or to schedule a time and hear about options for your build, cost? Please let me know if you are interested in an individual or group session.
