Craig Kauffman Home and Studio

In 1969, artist Craig Kauffman purchased a home at this location in Laguna Beach, California, when he was invited by Tony DeLap to teach at the University of California at Irvine. On the same lot as the house he built a separate studio space, where he worked throughout the 1970s.
