Different from a clamshell or drop-spine box on which the lid is attached to the base, a lift-off top box is perfect for housing suites of prints. Notches built into the walls of the base allow for easy pickup and handling of prints, while the removed lid is a perfect place to stage prints for viewing. In this one-day workshop, participants will learn to construct a box structure with a lift-off top to hold media measuring approximately 6" x 9".

Materials to Bring: Scissors, approx. 12" metal ruler, round 1" glue brush, and X-ACTO® knife.

Workshop + Materials fee: $150.00

Date & Time: Sunday, August 23, 2015 | 9:30am-5:30pm

Location: 375 Rhode Island St, San Francisco, CA 94103
