Welcome

Hand PRINT PRESS

publishes a short list of books for learning by doing. Kiko Denzer (that’s me) serves as publisher, manager, and primary author — other authors include Ann Sayre Wiseman (my mother), Max and Eva Edleson, and Ianto Evans and Lesley Jackson (who publishes Rocket Mass Heaters). You can buy all the books at the bookstore.

I count myself very lucky to have been able to participate in a community of wonderful doers, designers, artists, tinkerers, etc. who want to fit into their places and their communities in ways that not only blend beauty with utility, but also restore and enrich the sources of all beauty, whether it be by building an oven, planting a garden, cutting firewood, composting shit, or otherwise trying to feed what feeds us.

I’ve been updating the website, so if you’re coming back and can’t find something, or have other questions, please contact me.

Thanks for visiting. Happy building, baking, and making.

— Kiko Denzer
