 as the sliding lid type. Simplicity of design is the hallmark of this box.
  These boxes are found in museums and private collections throughout Scand
 inavia and used well into the 1950s as pencil cases. The body is made of o

 ed separately. During four days\, students will make several boxes in this

  instructor will have numerous historic and contemporary examples on hand 
 and will share a presentation on his extensive research into these unique 
 and special objects. This class requires moderate hand strength such as th
 e ability to open a tight jar lid. This course is open to students ages 16
