About

In this class students will build a bentwood box of a design inspired by the Yupik people of the Yukon Kuskokwim Delta, but also borrowing from Estonian and Scandinavian traditions. The Y-K Delta is basically treeless and the beautiful traditional boxes built by the Yupik people were constructed from driftwood supplied by the rivers and the sea. We will be taking a much simpler path using carefully selected white spruce from the interior.
