You will use your slab construction skills to construct a uniquely shaped container that is customized for an ancestor of yours. If you do not have information about specific ancestors, your container may be inspired by whatever general information you have about your family lineage.
- All containers must have a functioning lid that locks in place, and must be built using slab shapes with beveled edges.
- The minimum size requirement is 6” tall, but you may work as large as you want.
- You will want to create templates for each wall before starting.
- Things to research and consider:
Are there colors, shapes, or patterns you associate with their country of origin?
What information about this ancestor could inspire the overall shape of the container?
How will you decorate the surface to honor this ancestor/pet? Will you tell a story? Will you use visual symbols? Will it simply look like something they would want in their home?
