FOBA 2024 - Elsi Vassdal Ellis- Panel Book with Box

Class Overview - All Levels

The workshop will explore the panel book structure composed of double boards glued to book cloth hinges to form stacked double-sided panels that sit on a small, lidded box to house small objects. Workshop participants will learn how to assemble the structure without access to a nipping press. Various approaches to covering the boards will be demonstrated as well as using a small die-cutting machine to create inlays for board coverings.
