The simple and practical design of Shaker woodworking is not limited to boxes: A wide variety of containers and carriers can be made using straight-grained thin wood strips bent and tacked into shape. In this one-day course, students will choose to craft either a set of nested carriers, a swing handle carrier or a divided carrier. Using both traditional hand tools and some modern tools, this is a simple woodworking project with a utilitarian and lovely product that can be finished in a plain style, or painted and embellished further at home. Students are encouraged to enroll in the two-day Shaker boxes course scheduled before this session, or take this class as an introduction to this style of woodworking. The materials fee for this course will vary depending on the number of projects a student chooses to complete.

You will need the following tools for this class:
