Description
Hello! Ciao! We are a small family of 3- Emily, Ian, and Ari (2 years old). We make large scale interactive art for the public and events like Burning Man, have a huge permaculture garden and are currently building a straw bale home on our 17 acre property in Huntsville, Utah! We are English and Italian speakers, and would love to have folks help us with building our straw bale home, art making, and other random household/garden tasks. Great place if you want to experience the Wild West! Happy to help you learn English!
