A clamshell box is a beautiful enclosure to learn and use. It is practical as a casing for books but also for prints, drawings, photographs and other flat items. It consists of two three-sided trays that fold elegantly into one another and when made, it is a delight to hear the air rush out of the box as you close it, thereby leaving the contents safe and protected from dust. During this one day class we will construct a clamshell box using a mixture of buckram and decorative papers, you will leave with your completed box and for 'homework' the materials to make a hardbound book that will fit into it.
This class is best suited to those with some previous experience of bookbinding or box making.
Madingley Hall is a lovely venue with car parking.
