  Interview with Todd Kaderabek, Senior Production Manager


Local Asheville blogger Frivolitea, editor of Simple Studio Journal interviewed our very own Senior Production Manager, Todd Kaderabek this Wednesday, June 18th.


Frivolitea: I understand that Lark Books publishes materials on the topics of crafting, home decorating, cooking, and outdoor living. How did Lark Books, as a publisher, come to focus on these areas?

Todd: Altamont Press (once Lark’s parent company) began as a newsletter produced out of the back of Rob Pulleyn and Kate Matthews’ fiber studio/shop in New Mexico. That newsletter spawned Fiberarts Magazine and it was a natural progression from there to books that focused on not only fiber but the myriad of other craft mediums.


Check out the blog and full interview here. Way to go Todd!

According to TNNA knitting dates back to the fourth of fifth century B.C. In the past, knitting has been the occupation of shepherds watching their flocks, sailors whiling away the hours of long voyages, apprentices who studied it in early knitting guilds, and royal knitters in the court of England at the time of King Henry VIII.
