Description

Coopering with Carl Swensson. Course will focus on a style of single bottom coopering that was highly developed in the Swiss Alps where, until recently, the economy was based on small dairies that produced cheese and butter. One unique feature is that the wooden hooping utilizes a very sophisticated interlocking design at the connected hoop ends. The class project will be a bowl that is 10” in diameter and 4 to 6” in height. Tuition: $875. www.countryworkshops.org
