Description:

This engaging 2-day weekend workshop offers a deep dive into the art of boxmaking, focusing on constructing a multi-tiered tray with a magnetic enclosure. Students will assemble the trays using pre-cut pieces and craft the wrapped enclosure, which features a magnetic hold. Each participant will customize their box with unique dividers and creative elements, using a variety of papers and bookcloth. The individual themes and color palettes chosen by each student will result in a stunning array of uniquely unified boxes.

In addition to the boxmaking, students will create a cover for a premade textblock to include within the box and divider trays. This simple yet delightful addition provides a canvas for future content, such as writing, collages, and mark-making techniques. The cover will be a combination of bookcloth and decorative paper, adding a personalized touch to each student’s project.
