The Western New York Book Arts Collaborative will continue its impressive run of events centered around handmade books with a Clam Shell Box Workshop. Confused? Read on. Clam shell boxes have multiple uses in the world of book arts, providing protection, storage, as well as beauty in and of themselves.
On Saturday, January 20 the WNYBAC and Quality Bindery will present a half-day workshop where participants will learn more about clam shell boxes and construct one of their own. The box won’t be cheap: the workshop fee is $50 and the materials will cost an additional $20, but participants who remain and assist at an afternoon assembly session for WBYBAC portfolio boxes will have all fees waived (that’s fancy talk for if you stay to work, it’s free).
Clam Shell Box Workshop: Saturday, January 20, 2007 from 9:00 a.m. – 12:00 p.m. Assembly session from 1:00 p.m. – 4:30 p.m. Quality Bindery – 501 Amherst Street | Instructor is Brian Maloney | To register visit http://www.wnybookarts.org/events.php | For information visit http://bflobookarts.blogspot.com/ or http://www.wnybookarts.org.
