Handmade boxes are not only lovely, they are also quite useful and can be used to store a range of objects, not just books. Using hardboard or masonite and marbled fabric, students will learn the basics of creating decorative boxes made with marbled bookcloth. Expanding on these primary box building skills, students will learn about more complex functions by adding a hatch-top and bottom drawer. This particular structure also features rounded corners giving a pleasing twist to the standard pointed corner. All students will leave with a beautiful, handcrafted box suitable as a gift or holder of personal treasures!
