Build and engrave a wall cupboard entirely with hand tools that is inspired by the peasant furniture of the High Carpathian Mountains. The face frame of the cupboard is painted and then engraved with “spells” or prayers that seek to protect the owner from disease or harm. On day one, students will build the cupboard and paint the face frame. On day two Christopher will show students how to use the engraving tools and discuss the basic language of the spells or prayers. Students should be familiar with hand tools and sharpening.
