The design can be easily adapted in shape and size to accommodate a wide range of objects from prints, small objects, or books. Students will to the pieces and construct the two-tray cloth-covered box accented with decorative paper. Many of the basic bookbinding techniques will be taught such as measuring, cutting, and gluing.

No experience necessary. Intermediate students may work on independent box projects.

Plus receive one 3-hour monitored open bench session each week.
