Hours: 8:30 am - 4:30 pm

Instructor: Charles Thompson

Teaching Assistant: TBD

Use hand tools and core greenwoodworking concepts to make an ancient wooden vessel out of a branch. Shrink pots are great holders of bits and baubles, but might have been used historically to hold butter, grain, and dry goods. For our purposes, they will also be a way to explore meeting points between wood as a material, form, and decorative techniques.
