Patti StouterTrainingMentored in earthbag building by Owen Geiger and Kelly Hart of www.earthbagbuilding.com, and in architectural design by Greg Hammill and Ken Strong of Wycliffe Associates. Received landscape architecture licenses in Connecticut and NY. Studied painting at Pratt Institute and landscape architecture at City College in NY City. ExperienceMarried to builder and inventor Bruce Stouter. Patti has been involved in site and building plans and some labor for his
small construction business for at least 20 years. Since 2007 Patti has worked full-time as a volunteer designer on aid and self-help projects in
different parts of the world.  God has gifted me with a love of other cultures and of building design in order to have the privilege of assisting people in need to build. Although I understand the perspective of designers, past experience with home education also gives me a commitment to making safe building techniques understandable to those with skills and determination but little or no formal higher education.
