O que é isso?

Detalhes

Descrição
I am looking for an experienced person or couple who can do basic carpentry and can assist me in renovating my art studio.

Hi and thanks for writing.

I love the dynamic of exchange and are especially interested in people with honed skills!

Carpenters, photographers, massage therapists, dance and yoga teachers - please write with your skills.

Most of my projects are not for profit community projects. In the past we've made a mural which stands in Borgarnes, a documentary about art in Borgarnes which can be seen online for free, worked on a project for a displaced family and hosted art workshops to promote artistic thought and recycling awareness. Sometimes we need volunteers for art and film events. Are you skilled in something worth sharing with the community, let us know.

We get a ton of requests and only consider people over 30 and with workaway references . Are you skilled in something worth sharing with the community, let us know.

Michelle

Thanks for inquiring.

In Borgarnes, I had the privilege of working with Michelle, a truly remarkable host. Michalle's incredible artistic talent shines through in every corner of her beautiful home, which I had the pleasure of helping to paint.

I worked for Michelle for two weeks back in June. Michelle has been by far the most creative, motivated host I've had.
