Families build real furniture from what other people throw away: cardboard boxes, paper and glue. A sofa, a shelf, a stool, on a budget that wouldn't cover lunch.
Everyone has a job. The kids tear paper into strips and mix the pulp, the parents fold and tape the frames, and the whole table ends up with paper pulp on its hands. It looks like a kitchen experiment and works like a sculpture studio.
No experience needed. Mistakes are easy to fix, and a lump of pulp in the wrong place becomes a funny story. Working with your hands side by side does something that is hard to get from a screen.
You take home a different way of looking at waste, and a piece of furniture the whole family made. Shipping it is your problem, and we can help you get it to a post office.
For the little ones. A play area for toddlers from age 1, with a dedicated babysitter available for $26 a day (up to two children).
The valley, the food, the place
Workshop days end outdoors. There is space to run around, good paths for a walk, and late light for the whole family. Meals are fresh, varied and plentiful, because building things makes everyone hungry. The workshop and the house are clean and calm, the team is patient with kids, and a small treat sometimes turns up on the bench. The food is excellent, and vegetarian options are always available.
