My goal is perform a a demonstration and exhibition on the process of coopering as well as my own exploration into coopering forms. I need to travel to and from the location of the invitation. I need copper for band materials for many vessels that are finished besides needing bands. I will work for 10 hours each day Wednesday and Thursday on finishing bands and exhibition setup. I will spend five hours setting up for the demonstration. The project can be evaluated based upon documentation of the completed goals. Photographs will be taken during the demonstration which I can submit in my final report. Pictures will also be taken of the exhibition which will display the time put into it, the utilization of the copper bands for the exhibition and the completion of the goal. The combined pictures will show that I have met the goals and requests of the grant.
As part of the grant, I traveled to Tillers International in Scotts, Michigan to do a demonstration and put on an exhibition. I used the grant money for the travel fees as laid out in the grant. Arriving a few days before the demonstration and exhibition, I spent time setting up for both. I ordered copper for band material for my coopered vessels, which I had delivered to Tillers International. I used those materials to finish many vessels that I had built up that only needed to be finished with bands. I successfully did the demonstration and the follow-up exhibition.
