Time: 10am - 1.30pm
Cost: $200 full workshop
A practical and hands-on course for anyone keen to learn how to construct and cover traditional box from scratch.
We’ll begin with the fundamentals: measuring and drawing up your box using sturdy boards, then move on to covering it beautifully in decorative paper. You’ll leave with a fully completed box and the confidence to carry on boxing at home.
For this class we shall use a combination of beautiful book cloth, paper and ribbons.
This class also serves as a prerequisite for anyone wishing to join future box-making adventures, such as the Solander Clamshell Box or the Treasure Box classes.
Please Note:
This workshop is suitable for beginners with basic crafting, cutting, folding, and sewing skills.
While no prior bookbinding experience is required, this is a technical workshop, and participants should be comfortable using sharp instruments and able to follow verbal instructions.
Enthusiasm for bookmaking and sewing is essential, and a certain level of capability and confidence is expected.
Tea, coffee, and biscuits will be provided in abundance, because they’re essential!
All materials and tools will be supplied.
Please review our Terms and Conditions carefully before booking, as refunds are not permitted for change of mind.
