FSG Eco Space is excited to present its new monthly market days. There will be an eclectic mix of hands-on workshops, interesting talks, pop-up market stalls, food and live music on the 2nd Saturday of every month.

This month, there will be a range of workshops on offer, from paper making right through to how to build your own tiny house! Spaces are limited so you may want to book in advance to avoid disappointment. The workshops run from 9:00 am to 12:00 pm.

TINY HOUSE – w/ Nye

We’ll focus on giving you the knowledge and confidence needed to build your own tiny house.

No previous carpentry experience is required.
