About this Workshop

Charles and Henry Greene as architects and designers set a standard of excellence in their interpretation of the arts and crafts style. Their blending of arts and crafts with an oriental design created a unique and distinctive style. In this workshop, students will build a document box that showcases the distinctive details of the Greene & Greene style. The project features proud box joints with gently rounded ends, breadboard ends with ebony splines, domed square pegs that highlight the joinery, and fine decorative inlay. Along the way, students will learn the principles of box making, techniques for creating proud joinery and inlay, and strategies for installing hardware. Best of all, the skills learned through this small project can be applied to furniture and other projects in the Greene & Greene style. The finished box will be a special piece that family and friends will be eager to receive.
