Course description

Boxes can be both beautiful and functional. A box can protect and extend the life of a book or artwork, form part of the overall creative concept, or it can be made for easy storage of prints, paper and objects. Avril has a particular liking for making boxes to house her books. Her quest for the best and most effective box-making techniques has led her to a method of construction which is easy, accurate and strong. In this workshop you will learn these techniques and make an elegant (yet sturdy) double-walled, lidded and lined A5-sized box. Once you have made your first box it will be an easy step to customise the dimensions of your boxes to any size. If time allows, we will make a slipcase using the same construction techniques. Materials are provided. Bring your usual tools if you like, but tools are also available for use at the bindery.
