SUMMARY:Japanese Dagger with Sawa (Sheath & Handle)
DESCRIPTION:The goal of this class is to produce a blade ready for quenching with minimal use of a grinder. The focus will be on the tanto\, the dagger carried by samurai. Students will start with a piece of high carbon stock. This class will follow historic processes as closely as possible. Students will forge their bar into a blank of precise dimensions\, before hand forging bevels and relevant blade geometry. Then\, hand files will be used to finish the blade. Blades that are ready will be quenched at the end of the 2nd day. This class includes an in depth discussion of heat treating\, and blades will be clay coated when quenched for a hamon. The third day will start at the forge to make a basic fitting\, the habaki\, from copper. After that\, the class will turn to the wood shop\, where students will use hand tools to make a wooden handle and sheath using traditional methods. This class is for intermediate smiths.

SUMMARY:Introduction to Chip Carving
DESCRIPTION:This course will introduce students to the traditional craft of chip carving – a type of woodcarving in which a small knife is used to incise decorative floral and geometric designs into basswood or butternut.  The design is created by the removal of small pieces (chips) of the wood. Chip carving is an ancient\, traditional craft. Chip carved plates\, jewelry and keepsake boxes\, trays\, breadboards\, furniture and other items can make wonderful gifts and also decorate the home with traditional motifs. Some previous carving experience is helpful\, but not necessary. Students will learn to carve a variety of practice designs already drawn on a board and may complete a round ornament as well.

SUMMARY:Mountain Gathering Basket
DESCRIPTION:This basket is based on a forerunner of the Nantucket Lightship basket\, c. 1850. Woven on a round oak base\, the spokes are inserted into a groove which holds them firmly in place. This basket employs a continuous chase weave to build the sides\, using two weavers at once. The basket is hand-shaped\, not woven on a mold\, and students will be challenged and excited to watch their creations grow with two weavers. A hand-carved oak handle is incorporated into the rim\, which finishes this rustically graceful and functional basket. It is woven on a 6″ oak base which grows into a 12″ diameter basket. Dimensions are approx. 10″ high at sides\, 16″ high at handle.
