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.
In this class, we will learn how to prepare the materials and create a steam-bent oval box in the style of the traditional American Shaker Box.
There will be the opportunity to make several boxes using different timbers, and to finish them with shellac and traditional milk paint.

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.
