Bookbinding Workshop: Hinged Lid Box Construction w/Jane Freeman

Using book board, decorative paper, and book cloth, participants will learn basic box construction and make a 5 x 7 hinged-lid box.
This durable and sturdy construction both sits on its base and stands upright on a bookshelf; it is perfect for housing mementos, jewelry, ephemera, and more.
Participants will explore options for decorating the box and learn how to calculate measurements to make custom-size boxes.
