Facilitator Bio

Dylan Paczay

I am moved towards harmonious alternatives to modern ways of living. Inspired by the natural world, I quest to make resilient life paths accessible for myself and to those around me. I have passion for transforming freshly fallen trees into useful tools and structures. I was raised around my father’s construction company and my teen years were spent at our family’s essential oil farm. Now and for the past 9 years, I’ve taught at outdoor schools in the Guelph area. Pushing my capacities as a craftsperson has brought me to study glassblowing at Blown Away, complete the tool and die program at Conestoga College, explore the depths of bushcraft, and opening a machine shop in Wellington County.
