Band Boxes, with Fran Phillips

Member $175; Nonmember $225

Bandboxes were a familiar form of storage for nearly a hundred years, beginning in the mid-eighteenth century. This early form of carry-on luggage was too fragile for the newer, developing modes of transportation and was banished to attics. Students will have the opportunity to produce boxes, large and small, in several shapes, and complete them with a choice of papers. All materials will be provided and all tools will be available.

All materials provided. Maximum class size: 10

 

Advanced Band Boxes, with Fran Phillips
