 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.
