Saturday, December 20; 10am–4pm and Sunday, December 21; 1–4pm CT

In this in-person workshop, create a small clamshell box to fit a deck of cards.

Clamshell boxes are used to store and protect precious objects—anything from books to a collection of artworks to sheet music. Expand your experience in the basics of box building by developing skills to make hinges and learning about the function of these useful structures. 

Level: Intermediate. Basic box building experience is required, including experience covering and pasting down boards and checking that boards and compartments are square.
Certificate: Category B or D
