Cooperage is the craft of making tapered cylindrical tubs and casks utilizing joined staves held together by metal or wooden hoops. The coopered bowls made in this tutorial are based on the beautiful, refined cooperage formerly used by alpine dairy farmers in the Swiss Alps. Interlocked wooden hooping is a special characteristic of this work. The finished bowls may be used to hold fruit and nuts, or for serving bread or salad.
This special course is not offered as a summer workshop. Limited to 4 students.
The instructor is Drew Langsner
