Tiny homes are the latest real estate trend for buyers who have no use for open-concept living spaces or man caves. If you think that smaller is better, the Craft & Folk Art Museum's Tiny House Pre-Build Party and Building Workshop will help you downsize. Friday features a party and talk by Derek Diedricksen, host of HGTV's Tiny House Builders, as well as demonstrations by fellow micro-builders Michelle Boyle, Andrew Odom, Marty Skrelunas, Jedediah Voltz, Palo Coleman and Diedricksen's brother, Dustin, plus a cash bar and food. On Saturday and Sunday, Derek Diedricksen leads workshops on how to "build a small dwelling from salvaged materials." If you want to win a tiny house, the museum will raffle off a micro-cabin custom-built by Diedricksen and his team on site at CAFAM (winner TBA March 18).
