Come take our class on making 3 nesting shaker boxes! In this class, you will learn the art of making traditional shaker boxes, a style of wooden box made by the Shaker community in the 18th and 19th centuries.
Throughout the class, you will be guided step-by-step through the process of making three different sized nesting boxes. We will start by selecting the right type of wood, cutting it to the appropriate size and shape, and then bending the wood to form the sides of each box. You will learn how to fit the sides together using traditional techniques such as swallowtail joints and copper tacks, and how to sand and finish the boxes to perfection.
The class will be taught by an experienced woodworker who will demonstrate each step of the process and offer guidance and feedback as you work on your own boxes. Whether you are a seasoned woodworker or a complete beginner, this class is designed to be accessible and enjoyable for all skill levels.
By the end of the class, you will have made three beautiful nesting shaker boxes that can be used for storage or display, and you will have gained a deeper appreciation for the craftsmanship and tradition of shaker box making. So come join us and discover the satisfaction of creating something beautiful and functional with your own hands!
