Abstract

In November of 1974, Pat and Patsy Hennin decided to teach a few dozen people how to construct their own sturdy homes. Twenty years and some 19,000 students later, the Shelter Institute in Bath is still revealing the mysteries of home-building to everyday people, teaching lawyers, millworkers and housewifes that they can be their own carpenters, contractors, architects and plumbers. The Hennins are building a new campus in Woolwich, and are expanding their offerings into classes on constructing cruising boats, ultralight airplanes and solar greenhouses.
