Design and build a vessel that holds something of special meaning to you.
Choose a small object that has a connection, memory, or symbolism that is
important to you. You will construct a lidded, wooden box to hold your object.
We will be working with wood sections that are 8 x 5”. The box can
be from 4 to 8 inches long or wide, so choose something that is fairly small and
that you are able to bring to each class. The depth of the container will be
determined by how many wood sections you decide to glue together and the overall
size of your object. Materials--band-saws, wood, glue,
sanders, sand-paper ($1.00/sheet)--are available in the Common Shop; the Shop
takes cash or checks--no Beak 'Em Bucks.
