Stu Silverstein
Earth Oven Builder, Baker, & Artist Earth Oven Builder, Baker, & Artist
Deciding against law school and a career with the FBI, Stu Silverstein finally got serious about his life, found a VW bus and took a driveabout across the country in search of “real” bread. Not finding any, he returned to Maine and started to bake his own. He also builds earth ovens,
writes and makes
art. Later on, he started a brick oven café, and along with some friends, founded
Railroad Square Cinema, one of New England’s best known art cinemas. Traveling to Guatemala each winter with
Masons On A Mission, he builds energy efficient stoves with the Mayas. Stu also leads
earth oven workshops back home. Along with his book Bread Earth And Fire, Stu recently completed a video about oven building and bread baking. More information can be found on his website
