Object Display Shelf-Making Class, hosted by Lesley Jackson at the Little Craft School. Day One of a Three-Day Workshop, Thursday, September 3, 5:30-8:30 pm (also September 10 & 17).

Over three Thursday evenings, participants will design, build, and paint a decorative wooden shelf inspired by the history of scroll-cut shelves – humble wall-mounted pieces that were part storage, part quiet display. Day 1: Design your shelf, get oriented with the bandsaw. Day 2: Cut and assemble. Day 3: Add hanging hardware, paint, and finish.

This cross-organizational partnership between the Ukrainian Institute of Modern Art and Little Craft School was made possible through the Terra Foundation for American Art Community Engagement Grant awarded to UIMA. Free and open to beginners with no woodworking experience needed. Registration required.
