DESCRIPTION
Everyone needs someplace to hide those tiny, special objects. In this course we will cover small lidded container fabrication. A variety of fabrication forms will be demonstrated with multiple lid options. Demonstrations will include: hinges, friction fit, box clasp and solder set ups. We will experiment with surface treatments and textures. Participants are encouraged to bring with them at least one special object to design their container for. We all have at least one, now you’ll have someplace to put it.
