Join our Cartonnage Fabric Box Making workshop and embark on a creative journey to master the art of crafting elegant fabric boxes through comprehensive step-by-step guidance, unlocking the secrets of professional cartonnage techniques to transform ordinary materials into extraordinary functional artwork. Dive into the delightful world of cartonnage where precision meets creativity while crafting a beautiful box covered in your favorite fabrics, adding metal clasp and hinges. Cartonnage is a traditional French technique that has been revived around the world in recent years because it's a great and fun way of using fabrics and papers differently. In this workshop, you will learn a Brazilian variation of the original technique that thousands of happy box makers have proven to be an easier and fun way of building boxes.

Join our workshop and immerse yourself in the art of turning simple flat sheets of cardboard into stunning and sturdy fabric-covered boxes. Perfect for beginners and experienced crafters alike, we will start with a DIY kit and create a box that can be personalized to your liking. Get ready to add a touch of elegance to any room or make heartfelt, handmade gifts that will last a long time!

Students must provide their own fabric: 2 coordinating quilt fabrics (1 fat quarter each.) All other materials will be provided.
