Yestermorrow Design/Build School in Waitsfield, Vermont trains students in the arts of design and craftsmanship as a single integrated process. Through experiential learning in studio and shop and with an emphasis on designing partnership with the natural world, students develop critical thinking skills and technical know-how, expand perception and perspective, and deepen their creative assets for living and building resourcefully through the work of their own hands.

With more than 80 class offerings in sustainable design, construction, woodworking, and architectural craft, the students who come to Yestermorrow are DIYers and professionals, women and men, undergraduates and lifelong learners, hobbyists and those seeking a career change. Our immersion-style classes are offered as one-day to three-week-long workshops, six-week to eleven-week certification programs, and accredited semester programs. Courses and programs are taught by top architects, builders, and craftspeople from around the country. Our classes provide significant hands-on experience, and projects are built in collaboration with community partners to address community needs.

By uniting the processes of design and building and exploring the relationships between the natural and built environments, Yestermorrow empowers students to create intentional and inspired buildings and communities that enhance our world. We welcome you to join us.
