A Vermont school offers hands-on building classes, including for the construction of a ‘tiny home.’
Tucked in the fairyland of Waitsfield, Vt., Yestermorrow Design/Build School has a mission committed to creating a more sustainable future. The school offers a range of classes, from “Build Skin-On-Frame Canoe” to “Permaculture For Regional Planning.”
A hallmark course is a semester-long program where students design and construct a tiny home for a client. No experience is required. Students are taught basic architectural drawing skills to the rudiments of swinging a hammer on a construction site.
