'Gift & Keepsake Boxes'
with Heather Hunter.

Monday to Wednesday

This three day course is ideal for designing that special box for jewellery, treasured papers and photographs or fragile gift item. We will start the first day by constructing a lidded box from grey board that will be covered with paper provided. This construction has many variations that you can explore further to make that special box, using your own papers if preferred. During the course there will be demonstrations of a thin card wrapper and Japanese masu boxes.
HEATHER HUNTER graduated in Visual Studies from Oxford Brookes University which was the culmination of a lifetime working and teaching in three dimensional crafts. Since then her focus has been on artists' books using various binding methods, inkjet and/or collagraph printing and transfer of images. Her books have won prizes in the "Book Explorations" 1999 and 2000 in the USA and the Birgit Skiold prize at the London Artists Book Fair 2007. Her unique books are now in the private collections and libraries throughout the world.
