SUMMARY:Birch Bark Boxes: Scandinavian Bark Basketry
URL:https://feralskills.com/events/birch-bark-boxes-scandinavian-bark-baske
 try-2027-02-25
STATUS:CONFIRMED
DESCRIPTION:In this class\, students will make durable\, airtight birch bar
 k boxes that are perfect for storage of coffee\, tea\, spices\, or any num
 ber of other dry goods. Natural oils in the bark work to prevent spoilage\
 , while the dark\, air-locked environment inside the canister keeps things
  from going stale. These beautiful and functional containers are held toge
 ther without adhesives. Precision-fitted parts\, tension\, and small woode
 n pegs are all that is needed to make these incredibly tough boxes. In day
 s past\, these containers held snoose (chewing tobacco) and things like ma
 tches and fire starters. Sometimes they were made as double- or triple-dec
 kers\, in which case you could store coffee\, sugar\, and tobacco all in o
 ne container. Allowing four days for this class gives ample time to cover 
 topics ranging from the technical aspects of making containers to properti
 es of birch bark and decoration. It also gives students time to experiment
  and explore the containers in more depth.
