Join in the fun of decorative boxes! If you have ever been curious about how to make your own little decorative boxes to hold small objects like jewelry, mementos, or dice, this class is a great start and will provide a strong foundation to move forward in all things box. We will be creating a simple decorative box (no lid, 4x4x2 inches), wrapped in decorative paper. You will learn basic skills in wrapping paper and how to glue effectively. We will then cover how to make simple dividers to add to your box to create compartments. All are welcome!
Open to ages 18+.
Registration deadline: Jan. 25
*PS1 workshops are pay-what-you-can thanks to support from Hills Bank and individual donors. $140 is the true cost of the workshop, and we encourage participants to select the cost that they can afford, or pay a little extra to support future sliding-scale fees.

She received a BFA from Washington University in St. Louis, with concentration in printmaking and a second major in anthropology, and is completing her MA/MFA at the University of Iowa in printmaking.
She has helped teach workshops and demos in printmaking and book arts at Washington University in St. Louis, Anderson Ranch Arts Center, Women’s Studio Workshop, Fireweed Community Woodshop in Minneapolis, and the Minnesota Center for Book Arts.
