Calling all collectors! In this custom vitrine-building class, we'll explore our love for the miniscule and unglamorous lives of unfamous objects. Students are invited to bring their collections to class. You'll design and build a custom vitrine for your collection of corks, National Geographic magazines, bugs, receipts, sewing notions, etc. All woodworking abilities welcome. You'll complete a medium-sized, custom vitrine or housing unit for these personal collections. We'll cover basic machines such as the table saw, miter saw and planer. We'll learn to cut glass, join glass and wood, and create an access latch. In addition to technical skills, we'll also explore light object and animacy theory. Each class will start with selected readings on the subject.
