About Bill Coperthwaite: teacher, author, builder, and homesteader, Bill has dedicated his life to learning from the craftspeople of ancient cultures and applying their indigenous technology to modern materials and design. An innovative educator, Bill has used the classroom, seminars and hands-on workshops to instill in those who will listen, a vision for a simpler life, a more intimate relationship with the environment, and an approach to "democratic" design in which all participate in the creation of their life and culture. Bill is founder of the Yurt Foundation, a nonprofit educational organization established to gather folk knowledge from the cultures of the world and place it in a contemporary framework, creating a reservoir of ideas for designing ways of living that are simpler, more beautiful and more just.
