This workshop is highly creative and will focus on exploring ideas in box making that fall outside the typical six-sided container. Emphasis will be on shaping and sculpting boxes to create pleasing curves, unusual shapes and just about anything that falls into the category of fun and zany.  A primary focus in the workshop will be on creating patterns and textures and applying color to the surfaces of the boxes.

You will design and build two to three small boxes. You will hone your skills by constructing your designs with the safe operation of power tools and hand tools. You will practice different designs and construction for each box.  You will investigate different approaches and forms that a box and vessel form can take on, using both hand tools and machines. during class, participants will use carving tools, chisels, files and rasps, and some machinery.
