HatchSpace is delighted to have guest instructor Mike Pekovich teaching with us this weekend! As art director for Fine Woodworking, his job is to communicate woodworking how-to in a clear and inspiring way. He will be offering his Kumiko Box class to students of all skill levels. There are just a few spots left; here's the course description:
Are you looking to spice up your woodworking in a novel way? Then you need to sharpen your chisels and try your hand at kumiko. This Japanese latticework technique is traditionally found on shoji screens, but is making its way into contemporary furniture and boxes. The elegant geometric patterns of kumiko begin with a simple half-lap grid. From there, each square is filled out with small, precisely beveled parts until the pattern emerges.
Learn. Students will start by building a mitered box, learning how to work safely and accurately with small parts at the tablesaw. After that, you'll make a traditional leaf pattern kumiko grid to fill out the lid. During the process, you'll learn the basics of kumiko construction that you can put to use on future projects.
Make. You'll take home an elegant mitered box fitted with a kumiko patterned top.
2 SESSIONS: Saturday & Sunday, February 22 & 23 | 9am - 5pm | Class will break for a 1 hour lunch.
Cost: $400 non-members; $340 members (plus a $75 materials fee)
