Folded Lidded Boxes
Instructor Susan Joy Share

Virtual Workshop
Monday September 23, 2024
6 to 8:30 PM Eastern Daylight Time
From wherever you are in the US, via Zoom. This workshop will be recorded, and video will be available to registered students for at least 30 days after the workshop.

In this online workshop we’ll create lightweight, versatile lidded boxes to house pencils, brushes, and other small collectibles. We’ll combine two box making methods: an origami folded one with a constructed one. These portable paper boxes close with a little click and can be beautifully decorative or purely functional. We’ll fold, score, cut, glue, and collage. Class discussions include how to make custom sizes, embellish recycled materials and incorporate/generate artwork.
