Class Experience
This is a two day class because the vintage can chair could easily take that long to make. We will complete as much of the chair as possible in the first 45 minute session and continue working on the chair in the second session. If you are unable to attend both sessions as scheduled, please contact me so we can work out a mutual time to have both classes. With all of the recent talk about global warming and environmental conservation, recycling and reusing aluminum cans can be very...
The students will learn a new hobby. They will learn how to cut an aluminum can and turn it into a work of art. In this two part lesson the students will make a rocking chair. I am have another class in which we will make a vintage chair.
I used to make these chairs all the time when I was in the 6th and 7th grades. It's a fun and creative hobby! I spent hours making chairs and other can crafts, long before the Internet with pictures and instructions. I just made them up! I wanted to share my expertise with you.
No homework, but before class starts, the students should gather the materials needed to make the vintage can chair.
2 files available upon enrollmentMaterials • 2 empty aluminum cans • Sharp scissors • Corn holder • Ruler • Permanent marker (2 colors) • Needle-nose pliers • 2-4 cotton balls • 2”x2” circle of fabric • Hot glue gun with glue stick
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
observation and the completed chair
1 hour 30 minutes per week in class, and maybe some time outside of class.
The students will be cutting and bending aluminum with scissors and needle-nose pliers, measuring with a ruler and operating a hot glue gun, so they should be able to do this independently. Assistance might be needed for the first lesson until the students learn the curling and clamping techniques.
