Box Making: Clam Shell Box / Drop Spine Box  Jackie Hefty

Need a great gift for someone special ? - Here it is, a workshop to make a drop spine box. Based on using a conventional size of 8 1/2 x 11" format, we will create a housing for papers, books and treasures. Adjustments for various sizes will be discussed for individualized future projects. A good metal ruler, a sharp utility knife, a cutting matt and a clear head will be most important.  Participants will have the opportunity to customize the covers with commercially available materials or personalized, hand decorated options.    Tuesdays Dec 2 and Dec 9,  1- 4     OR     Friday Dec 12 and 19,   9 - noon      OR       Sat Dec 13, 10 - 4:30    $105/$20 materials
