Age Group:
Adults
This workshop will begin with a small-scale box with hinged lid in elegant book cloth. This project will introduce the materials and techniques for box making, adhesives, and best practices for cutting, sizing, and creating future templates or patterns. Students will walk away with several single-sheet projects on corrugated cardboard, chipboard and heavy-weight card stocks and will also build confidence with paper engineering. Japanese Origami structures, as well as Altering Boxes will be discussed as an additional way to stretch art practices and context shifts for surprising results.
No make up date.
