This workshop is about empowering you to say ” I can” and never to be limited by the fact you have never … Whether the NaySayer is in your head or people in your life you will learn to blow them out of existence. Empowerment is more than just learning a skill, it is the feeling of confirmation that this is the way it should always be. We take pride that with each graduate the world comes a little closer to gender equality.

Empower and nurture your soul through community.  Have you ever wanted to learn something but never had a chance or had a naysayer in your ear.  Learn to say “I Can”.  Collaborative Carpentry’s mission is to empower, teach and evolve through learning and building.  We teach all materials and methods to empower you to create the world you want to live in.  We teach woodworking, ceramics, painting, sewing, landscaping and homesteading.  Life is Art, learn to be an artist in everything you do. And in the process craft your destiny and nurture your soul.

Homesteading and permaculture are listed separately from “On Demand” art workshops.  Although they are considered just as artful.  These workshops and activities are mostly woven into everyday living.  They are part of the lifestyle  at Deborah’s studio and gardens.  She often harvests something from the yard and makes tea or flavored Vodka.  There is always homemade Kombucha and date bars for snacks in the studio.  You can purchase Kombucha, date bars, turmeric paste as well as lip balm, just call ahead. 

Fearless Art is a program that provides you with a pattern on canvas and then instructs you on how to paint the images in different methods.  You have control of the colors you use and what mood your painting will have. The program comes with instruction and mentorship.  The goal of the program is for you to be able to make a wall of art that reflects your passions and style.  We make it simple and fearless.  Fearless art can be done in a group setting, as a paint and sip experience.  I teach the workshop monthly at the local senior centers.
