White Coopering Bucket Making Workshop
Australian Centre for Rare Arts and Forgotten Trades
Learn the craft of the cooper with Tony Adams.
This two-day workshop is an introduction to the craft of the cooper or barrel maker. White coopering is the making of straight-staved containers such as buckets that can be used for holding liquids.
Your instructor, Tony Adams, will guide you through the process of making a barrel with hand tools. You will produce a wooden bucket complete with splayed and riveted metal hoops and a rope handle using traditional techniques.
At the end of the workshop, you will take your finished bucket home with you.
