Boxes come in all shapes and sizes, with lids, compartments and drawers. In this workshop you'll learn the mechanics of folded boxes and make several different styles from custom made templates (circular box, matchbox with drawer, square box with lid, and more). We’ll discuss how to modify patterns for folded boxes and what papers and adhesives work best.
