Clamshell Box : Step by Step Demonstration

by InkdArt

I had the pleasure of teaching my class, A Book in a Box, with an enthusiastic group of newly minted book binders. During the class, two people served as photo-documentarians and tried pretty much to take pictures of every step in the process of constructing a cloth covered clamshell box. The box was constructed to enclose the half cloth, decorative paper-covered hard bound book which we had made the previous day.

I began to annotate each image and will continue to do so until I finish but in the meantime, I hope these images will be helpful.
