Lidded Box Workshop

Make a beautiful box for your precious objects



2 x 6.5 hours Class size 1 to 8 guests    

  $300 (Afterpay available)

Tutor: Avril Makula
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 customize the dimensions of your boxes to any size.
If time allows, we will make a slipcase using the same construction techniques.
What you'll get
An elegant (yet sturdy) double-walled, lidded, and lined A5-sized box.
Knowledge required
Hand-eye coordination and dexterity are necessary for this course as sharp knives are used in the cutting of board and paper.
What to bring
Materials are provided. Bring your usual tools if you like, but tools are also available for use at the bindery.
