The Art of the Bandsaw Box
Bandsaw boxes are a simple way to make wooden box structures without complicated joinery. Students will learn the basics of how to cut, glue, and manipulate the material. We’ll also explore simple surface design treatments such as image transfers, color and painting techniques, texturing, and surface carving. The workshop will include demonstrations of the safe use of machinery as well as how to sharpen chisels and carving tools. Personal explorations of form, surface, and imagery will be encouraged. All levels.
