Home to nearly one quarter of the world’s forests, Ukraine has a uniquely long, inextricably close, and immeasurably important relationship with the wood of its vast forested Eurasian plain. In the heart of Sumy, a Ukrainian city, stands an amazingly beautiful wooden Gazebo built in the Ukrainian wooden architectural style and refers to the direction of the rarest style of architecture in the city.

This miniature reproduction is reproduced from original drawings and measurements in 1/12th scale. Its amazing decorative laser cut fretwork surrounds the structure and gives this gazebo its beautiful, amazing charm. One advantage is that the gazebo is built on a raised (resin) foundation of stone with steps rising to the floor level. This gives the real gazebo a better overview of the city. All shown in photo is included, including glue and the bench on the ground floor; however, plants shown are not included. Scale 1/12th. 

Students will develop skills in using and making resin parts, wood staining, frame construction, painting, weathering, and use of landscaping materials. A portable light is highly recommended.

Tools to bring: All supplies are provided by the instructor except as indicated, however, students are welcome to bring their own tools & supplies.
