Created for my Rapid Prototyping class, this project is meant to be a celebration of the newly acquired skillset gained over the quarter. Ostensibly a shop class focused on wood shop tool use and plastics, this final project required the implementation of a variety of techniques covered within the curriculum.

Leaning heavily into the requirement of utilizing wood felt only natural, and so I found inspiration in what I consider to be one of the most iconic wooden objects, a grandfather clock.

With my minor in accessory design, I find great pleasure in being able to combine the two subjects by using industrial tools and materials on a product that is primarily a soft good, leading to the creation of this functional, hand crafted statement handbag.
