North House Folk School

Cooper Ternes (he, him) is a wooden bowl maker. He crafts wooden bowls that are a modern interpretation of the wooden bowls in the Scandinavian folk tradition. He is exploring the balance of form and function by creating objects intended for daily use and for the celebration of the communities we create through a shared table. Cooper is a former North House Intern 2010, a father, a business owner, and a craftsman. Cooper has many interests including wilderness travel, sewing, and green woodworking, and has worked in the medical, mental health, and education fields. During the Artisan Development Program, he is grateful to be able to focus on deepening his design sense, learning new skills for improving the business side of being a craftsperson, and finding new ways to give back to his community.
