PLAYING "CLASSIC SUSPENSE"
|
ADDRENE RIZEN
It’s October 20th, 1957 and you are just settling down to watch your favourite
television show. Alfred Hitchcock is ready to thrill you yet again with another
episode. This week’s show is called
"The Perfect Crime", starring Vincent Price
It is time to sit back and enjoy!
In this workshop you will be constructing a television replica inspired by the
Viking Console, (Canada, 1952). This stylish console was one of the earliest
sets sold by Eaton's, and was developed by Electrohome in Kitchener, Ontario.
The set's production and acceptance by these two well-established Canadian
businesses signalled the arrival of television in the average Canadian home.
The focus will be on mitre cuts and trim details with fine wood. Although it
will go together quickly, the more time the student puts into sanding (ultra
fine) the greater affect on the outcome.
The 'player' can be loaded with a mystery thriller, 30 minutes of "Classic
Suspense" and the hardwood television console can be finished in a number of
custom style options to suit.
All Day Saturday
$90
