This is a two-day weekend workshop: Sat., Jan. 28th from 10am-5pm and again the next day on Sun.,
Jan. 29th from 10am-5pm.
Spend a fun weekend
making a box base with a separate custom-fitted lid – the Telescoping Box! We’ll
learn how to customize them for a variety of uses: storing pencils, art &
craft supplies, trinkets, books, business cards, etc. A functional, yet decorative work of art, this box is made
from 2-ply chipboard you measure and cut and covered with Japanese decorative
papers: Kozo, Yuzen, and Lokta papers, as well as pages from vintage recycled
books, maps, and prints.
We’ll also learn how to
create custom sections as divided inner walls of your box.
We’ll take a break to
eat lunch and by the end of class, you’ll be
very proud of your first beautiful, strong and functional box(es).
Min. 4, max. 15
students.
We’ll take about an hour break each day to
eat lunch somewhere in the city of Decatur (you may also bring your lunch) and
by the end of class, you’ll be very proud of your first set of telescoping
boxes! Anne’s workshops are meaningful, educational, enriching, and fun.
