Class Description: Three-Piece Desk Set: Box Making for All Levels
Join us for an engaging two-day workshop where you’ll learn the art of box making while creating a beautiful three-piece desk set. This class is perfect for beginners eager to acquire foundational box making skills, as well as for experienced artisans looking to explore new embellishment techniques.

Throughout the workshop, you will create a stylish tissue box cover, a smaller box for desk accessories, and an upright pencil holder to organize your workspace. Each project will introduce various box making techniques, ensuring that you gain practical skills while nurturing your creativity.

Participants will also discover how to utilize vibrant, traditional Chiyogami paper to cover and embellish their boxes, adding a personal touch to each creation. You will be encouraged to experiment with different designs and finishes, allowing for an array of unique variations and styles and adding your own embellishments.

By the end of the class, you’ll not only have a lovely heirloom to take home but also the confidence to continue your box-making journey. Whether you’re a novice or a seasoned artist, this workshop promises to be both enjoyable and rewarding
