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. More info at
