Join us for a two-day workshop, hosted by Ray Cirino and Jessica Viola, where 
we will be constructing a STORYBOOK GAZEBO. This is an old-fashioned BARN 
RAISING, Folks! 

Tiny houses (homes typically between 64 and 300 square feet) are springing up 
all over the country -- from Vermont to Oregon to post-Katrina New Orleans -- 
as well as all over the media landscape. They are affordable and energy 
efficient, they reduce materials consumption, cut your carbon footprint, and 
they're cute! A tiny house is perfect for an office, art or writing studio, 
children's playhouse, meditation/yoga space, guest house, or even a fully 
equipped dwelling. In this intensive tiny house workshop, students will spend 
mornings and afternoons building a tiny house, including framing, interior 
and exterior finishes and insulation. Each student will have an opportunity 
to contemplate how to efficiently utilize space as they create drawings, 
plans and models for their own tiny houses.

The Storybook Gazebo will be built using recycled materials which you CAN 
afford and is designed as a kit, so it can be taken apart and moved! It will 
rotate to fit your comfort zone, one side french doors, the other half solid 
doors. 

Explore design implications for water flow, natural heating and cooling 
systems, multi-functional space use, maximal edge and creative systems 
design. We will explore basics of building codes and construction laws in Los 
Angeles, as well as leave you with some instructions on how to create a 
drought-tolerant, habitat-friendly, holistic garden on your new front porch! 

*Pizza lunch will be provided, baked fresh in Ray’s Dragon Oven*

*Gaia*
*"There's a unique thing the universe wants each one of us to do. When we
rediscover what that unique thing is, we feel it in every fiber of our
being, and the rest of the world comes rushing to witness. The outward
ramifications of this "act of truth" is of no importance, the relative
size, shape or form of it, as judged by earthly yardsticks. Each and every
physical atom in our physical being is made of old supernovas, and they
know what we're made of - nothing else will do."*
