When I teach a workshop or give training, I pass on my personal experience and knowledge that I have collected over the years, delivering it to you in a 1-day workshop, weekend or intensive 1o-days.
My goal through teaching is to give you the knowledge, experience and most importantly, the confidence that you will be able to do on your own what you have learned and experienced during the learning.

I believe that taking part in your house construction or renovation, no matter if it’s big or small, can help you to pay less for the work, but more importantly, you can put your own touch to it, and that’s priceless.
