Hinged Box with Pamphlet Binding February 22, 2025

Description

Boxes are made to protect books but also as a beautiful way to organize trinkets, photos or letters. This workshop will teach how to make a box with an attached, hinged, lid that will stay closed with no additional closure added. Since boxmaking requires a certain amount of drying time before advancing, students will make 1 or 2 pamphlet bindings while waiting for adhesive to set. Basic bookbinding terminology, tools, materials and a short history of binding techniques will be covered, as time permits. The cost of the workshop includes materials, use of shared tools and handouts. Students are encouraged to bring a small notebook in which to take their own notes.
