Learn to make a useful box that's ideal for storing sewing supplies, jewelry, or small tools. The box has a hinged lid and can be opened fully. The interior holds a removable top tray; the bottom compartment is open and can store larger items.

The instructor has developed his own way of making boxes, combining the industrial and artisanal methods of boxmaking. Students will learn basic boxmaking concepts, as well as an understanding of paper and board grain and its importance.

Pietro is known for his marbling, and will provide marbled fabric to use in covering the boxes. Students will learn how to make their own book cloth out of regular fabric.

All skill levels are welcome: the most difficult part of the class will be the choosing of the marbled fabric from the multicolor array of patterns that Pietro will provide.
