How Do I...Build Stuff With Trash?

Join presenter Jake Cochrane for this hands-on workshop and learn the basics of using tools and how to turn repurposed, recycled, and low-cost materials into useful builds. You'll learn what basic tools you should have on hand and how to use them, where to find affordable materials for repairs and projects, and walk away feeling empowered to fix, tinker, and construct away! 

Jake is a Seattle-born artist, musician, and builder currently living in Port Angeles, Washington. He’s passionate about building radically affordable structures using free or reused material, tapping local waste streams, and getting his hands dirty in the process. Jake hopes to inspire the joy of taking something broken or cast aside and returning to a state of usefulness.
