[Cet atelier est offert en anglais, mais l’instructeur fera son possible pour répondre à vos questions.]

This version of the clamshell box is sturdy and durable, as well as classic in its elegance. The lip allows for easy opening, while the cloth covering affixes and supports the walls for strength.

Participants will learn how to measure and assemble this cloth covered binder’s board box, while practicing a sophisticated corner covering technique.

Everyone will go home with a lovely enclosure and plans that can be adapted to any size book, or to house works of art.

Suitable for beginners and all experience levels.
