Enclosures for Preservation and Beyond

Date: Saturday, July 26th

Hours: 9:00 am - 4:00pm

Instructor: Bill Hanscom

Boxes, wrappers, and slipcases are widely used to house and protect library and archival collections, but they also offer terrific opportunities for artistic exploration. Beyond the protective housing of original artistic works such as books or print portfolios, enclosures can be altered and embellished to complement, enhance, and conspire with their contents. Over the course of this one-day workshop, participants will work to create a reference set of enclosures that neatly nest together.

Tools & Supplies: *There is an additional $40 materials fee due to the instructor on the first day of class. The instructor accepts cash, checks, or Venmo. All other tools and supplies will be provided for this class.

Prerequisite: None
