Don’t get cornered into only square boxes… Boxes come in all shapes and sizes, with lids, compartments and drawers. Artist books  and bound treasures often need creative ways to house them, and here’s the class to learn how to build them. This daylong workshop gives us the time to explores the math, materials and tips for creating three types of boxes: circular, drawer and containers with lids. As we are creating these shapes, we will also discuss dividers and ways to expand and innovate from the basics.
