    Steve Latta

    Author Headshot

    Contributing editor Steve Latta sets a dazzling work pace. In addition to writing frequently for the magazine (more than 50 articles since 1994), he teaches full time in the furniture making program at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology in Lancaster, Pa. He also teaches at nearby Millersville University and conducts workshops at woodworking schools across the country. In his spare time he builds period furniture, some of which he donates to nonprofit organizations. He prepared for all this activity by earning a bachelor’s degree in literature and a master’s in American decorative arts.
