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:
Lovely work and terrific studio space.
Beautiful work Lesley!
Do you sell mail order? I would buy a wool hat. Unfortunately I am in the southeast and haven’t been to California in years. Quilting is big here but not the hand dyed wool work.
Jim,
Why don’t you email her, lesley@shelterpub.com
Love you Lesley !
We must have some genes in common, although 10.000 km apart
Happy holidays!
