About the Workshop:
This in-person class at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor Carolyn Chadwick.
Boxmaking is an essential skill for any bookbinder. The clamshell box is a terrific way to protect and preserve a first edition, an antiquarian book, an artist's book or a suite of prints. It keeps out light, dust and prevents the wear and tear on the shelf. This class will focus on the basic techniques - accurate measuring, cutting, and gluing. The critical aspect of making a clamshell box is precision in measuring. The 1st tray needs to hold a book or sheets without rubbing but without room for movement. The 2nd tray needs to fit the first. And the cover needs to pull it all together so it opens and closes properly and stands up straight. Participants will come away with a finished clamshell box to hold a book -- great opportunity for book artists and bookbinders!
Required Materials:
- A book or stack of sheets you would like to make a box for (no larger than 11″h x 8.5″ wide x 1.5″ deep)
- Bone folder
- scalpel
All other materials will be provided by Center for Book Arts at no additional cost.
