The Catskills Tiny House Workshop is a one-of-a-kind event where you not only learn everything you need to know about designing and overseeing the build of your little space, you get to *stay* in a tiny house and enjoy the inner workings of tiny house living for a weekend.

The workshop costs $495 which includes lodging, sample blueprints, sample written plans, a sample builder’s contract, a sample land rental agreement for a tiny house, and a how-to guide packed with building terms, definitions, and facts. Sign up here. Their next workshop is May 13-15, 2022.

    Natalee, can you please keep us posted when there is a tiny house workshop in the NW area such as Seattle or north of that?

    I already built a tiny house but still would like to participate to see if I can pick up some new skills or something I haven’t figured out out. When mine is finished (I am at trim stage) I will send piccys over.
