Sarah's professional life has revolved around the intersection of woodworking, design, and people. Early on, she fell in love with timber framing, partly for the craft, and partly for the way in which raising a frame together builds community. Sarah has taught timber framing, stick-framing, straw-clay, and straw bale construction workshops, and led numerous community-built playground projects. For nine years she taught boatbuilding at the Carpenter's Boat Shop, where working with wood in community became a vehicle for personal growth. Currently, she designs homes and barns built of real wood, teaches workshops, and consults with owner-builders.
