Build a wooden pie box with punched copper top, make a pie to fill it, and carry them both home. And in the process, gain experience on tools in three BARN studios: Woodworking, Metal Arts and Kitchen Arts.
In this three-evening class, you will use a table saw, chop saw and other tools to build the basic box from cypress. In the sheet metal shop, you will create a decorative punched-metal top, which will allow steam to escape as your pie cools., and a stainless steel drawer to hold the pie. And, in BARN's commercial kitchen, you will bake a pie from scratch to carry home and enjoy, perhaps as a rehearsal for a Thanksgiving pie.
Details:
- Beginners are welcome.
- There is an additional materials fee of $49. Please pay at the first session by check or cash.
Before the class, draw the design you want for the perforated metal cover. For ideas, search Google images for "punched tin" but select a small design that leaves a least a 1-inch border around the 12-inch-square metal you will be decorating.The image shows the type of design that would be suitable.
Instructors: Carol Fiedler Kawaguchi will guide the woodworking phase, Jack Archer the sheet metal work, and Kate McDill, the baking component. Carol is a professional furniture restorer. Jack is the retired owner of a sheet metal business and heads BARN's sheet metal programs. Kate is a member of BARN's Kitchen Arts group, and baking is her passion.
