In this two-day class, you will learn traditional steam bending techniques, and how to create small boxes using a variety of processes. Steam-bent boxes can be found in several cultures, from the traditional Magewappa Japanese lunch box to the classic Shaker box reminiscent of the 1800s American Shaker Culture.

There’s a certain magic in creating something with your own two hands. The focus it demands, the joy it imparts, the sense of accomplishment when you transform a simple piece of timber into something extraordinary. At Wood Academy, we celebrate the power of craftsmanship, the way it can ignite passion, inspire creativity, and instil a deep sense of satisfaction. It’s why we believe in one simple truth: Wood Work is good work. The more makers in this world, the better.
