Box Making Workshop
Throughout the workshop, students will learn Claudia’s straightforward approach to designing reusable templates that can be adapted to any size or purpose. Working with both handmade and commercial papers, participants will construct durable box forms while learning professional techniques for measuring, cutting, assembling, and covering structures.
Once the foundations are built, the creative possibilities begin. Box forms offer generous surfaces for collage, hand stitching, found objects, decorative papers, and mixed media embellishment. Whether your goal is a functional keepsake box, an artist’s book container, or a sculptural artwork, you’ll leave with a framework for creating boxes uniquely your own.
