Cartonnage – Basic Desktop Organizer

Learn the artisanal craft of cartonnage (the art of making boxes, books, picture frames and other useful items covered with decorative papers or fabrics).

We will be constructing a simple box to learn the basics of covering and assembling the pre-cut cardboard elements and applying the decorative fabric. There will be discussion of how to personalize the box and design custom projects.

All tools and materials will be provided (including the fabric) and no experience is necessary.

• If you want to bring in your own fabric you will need 1/2 yard (1 large piece or 2 coordinating fat quarters) of a woven fabric (eg. quilting cotton) - no large prints or patterns.
• Please visit https://technocopia.org/directions for more information about getting to and parking around Technocopia.
