Box Making Workshops

 

Box Making Workshops are available through out the year. Decorative boxes, or an archival, light- and dust-free box are some possibilities for this workshop. The workshop can take from four to ten+ hours to complete, depending upon the complexity and custom nature of the project. 

 

Using traditional bookbinding materials and tools, the box is built from archival binder's board, PVA, rice paper and paper. A simple box structure should take about 4 hours to make and decorate with book cloth and/or decorative papers.

​

Custom Boxes: If the box is for a particular item or collection, please bring the it with you, so a custom box can built to fit them. If you are not able to bring the collection, please take exact measurement of their height, width and depth. Please phone or email for instructions of how to measure the item, and to discuss your custom project.
