“Here’s the lovely, two-tier yurt that Bill Coperthwaite helped us build last October. It’s on the grounds of the Ancient Arts Center near Alsea, just a long leap over a couple of ridges, into the next drainage south of us (the Alsea River). We’ll finish the woven willow and mud walls this May. If you want to come help, we’ll be having two workshops, 1st and last weekends in May…”
About Lloyd Kahn
Lloyd Kahn started building his own home in the early '60s and went on to publish books showing homeowners how they could build their own homes with their own hands. He got his start in publishing by working as the shelter editor of the
Whole Earth Catalog with Stewart Brand in the late '60s. He has since authored six highly-graphic books on homemade building, all of which are interrelated. The books, "The Shelter Library Of Building Books," include
Shelter,
Shelter II (1978),
Home Work (2004),
Builders of the Pacific Coast (2008),
Tiny Homes (2012), and
Tiny Homes on the Move (2014). Lloyd operates from Northern California studio built of recycled lumber, set in the midst of a vegetable garden, and hooked into the world via five Mac computers. You can check out videos (one with over 450,000 views) on Lloyd by doing a search on YouTube:
Bill Coperthwaite wrote a book a few years ago titled, "A Handmade Life", recommended to all who aspire to leave the world as we know it behind. The greedy corporations, elites, and our two faced self centered politicians want us to fall in line with their bankrupt system because it only makes them richer. This book helps to lead the way away from their life and helps to establish a better world for us to explore. Love not money will make you richer.
