Hatch-Top Box

  • San Francisco Center for the Book 375 Rhode Island st San Francisco (map)

Handmade boxes are not only lovely, they are also quite useful and can be used to store a range of objects, not just books.

Using hard board and marbled fabric, the instructor will walk students through the basics of creating decorative boxes. Expanding on these primary box building skills, students will learn about more complex functions by adding a hatch-top and bottom drawer.

This particular structure also features rounded corners, giving a pleasing twist to the standard pointed corner. Everyone will leave with a multi-purpose box that is ready to use.

Students will select their marbled fabric from a selection marbled by Pietro.
