101 Series presents Old -Time Kentucky Farmsteading

Led by Louis DeLuca, editor of Old-Time Kentucky Farmsteading Ways and Means: From the Journals of Herbert Lee Clark

Louis DeLuca will provide a PowerPoint talk about Herbert Lee Clark’s life and work. Descended from a long line of Shelby County, KY farmers and homesteaders, Herbert Lee lived his entire life in the small community of Harrisonville, KY. A stone mason by trade, he was also a farmer and believed in and practiced the old ways of self-sufficiency and hard work. He brought great creativity to his work, exhibiting folk artistry in his stonework and buildings, especially in the home he was building for himself and his wife.

Now retired, Lou DeLuca was a former Director of the Kentucky Arts Council and Acting Secretary of the Kentucky Education, Arts and Humanities Cabinet. Prior to that he taught at the Yale School of Art and Architecture and the University of Kentucky College of Design. Lou now lives in Berea with his wife Victoria Faoro.
