Description

I’m happy to provide direct, in-person technical & design assistance, by phone or (locally, at least) in person, whether you want help designing and building your oven, or some other art-related, teaching or design project. I’ve been building ovens for 25 years, and have worked as a teaching artist in schools and with communities in the US and abroad. In addition to other arts, I also make custom woodenwares from local greenwood — everything from turned and hand-carved bowls and spoons, hand-lettered wooden signs, and simple, affordable coffins to gong stands and other unusual furniture. In addition to a background in teaching and community development, I’ve published professionally in mainstream media, edited a community newspaper, and done free-lance work — as well as publishing a few of my own and others’ titles under this small imprint. Please do contact me directly for details if you think you might need technical & design assistance in any of these areas. And if you want to see documentation of some of the projects I’ve been involved in, please do take a look at the gallery in my about page.

from the publisher

Hand Print Press began in the early 90s, when I self-published Build Your Own Earth Oven. I was thinking of myself as a capital A  Artist. However, as I learned from the garden and other teachers, art just means “to fit together” — it’s how the world works — flora, fauna, humans — all must fit themselves together, with each other, with the landscape, with wind and weather. In addition to the bookstore (which now includes a few other authors), the site contains stories and updates on ovens, heat, baking, beauty, agriculture, fire, community, culture, (spoon) carving, etc. It’s all art! Thanks for visiting. You can contact me at handprint at cmug dot com, or thru instagram.
