Sauna Workshop Tomorrow!

Note: There is a suggested $10 donation for any workshop at Better Farm.

A sauna construction workshop is slated at 11 a.m. Saturday, June, 22, at

Better Farm

.

Students will learn to create a sauna with all the amenities using only recycled/reclaimed/upcycled/local materials. This hands-on class will examine materials, ways to refurbish discarded materials, and basic tool tutorials; culminating in the construction of a sauna on-site at Better Farm.

Materials to be used: locally sourced wood from sawmill next door, a tree stump reappropriated as seating, upcycled foam core insulation, refurbished cast-iron woodstove, discarded cinder blocks, and discarded slab wood.

Students are encourage to bring safety goggles, work gloves, and a bagged lunch. Please note that this workshop will break ground and establish the sauna's foundation; with completion of the sauna slated for a second workshop at a later date.

  Instructor: Bob Laisdell
