reative conceptualization of the box environment is the focus of this workshop.

On the first day, participants will explore the basics of step-jointed, laminated-wall construction by producing models from pre-cut materials. Because this technique is useful for making boxes ranging from the very simple to the extremely complex, it is an ideal tool for creating an environment in which to tell a story about—or reflect the nature of—the book or object contained.

On the second day each participant will use information from the previous day to build a mock-up structure that supports, expresses, and contains an object that they bring to class.

This workshop is an opportunity to learn step-jointed, laminated-wall box construction as well as to plan and build a mock-up of your own box project. You will not have time to complete your box but you will leave with the knowledge and techniques to finish this project and any others you decide to tackle.

All levels of experience are welcome.

About one month before the workshop, registrants will receive a tool list, directions to the studio, and any other pertinent logistical information via email. Workshop hours are usually from 9:30 until about 5:00. Please do not buy an airplane ticket or make any other non-refundable payment before checking with us to be sure the workshop for which you have registered has sufficient enrollment.

(This workshop is not currently on the schedule. You may to request that we offer it sometime in the future.)
