Participants will learn how to measure and assemble this cloth covered binder’s board box, while practicing a sophisticated corner covering technique.

Suitable for beginners and all experience levels.

All tools and materials will be provided; however, if you have a favorite bone/teflon folder, ruler, knife, or other tool, please feel free to bring it along.
