Bandboxes and
hatboxes were a practical and decorative American craft made
during the early 1800’s. They protected many valuables for
men and women in their homes and as they traveled.
I will give some
background on antique box construction, wallpapers, and
values. Each student will make a stack of three bandboxes,
constructed of cardboard, hand-sewn together, covered with
wallpaper, lined with reproduction 1800’s newspaper, and
labeled. There will be a choice of four wallpapers with
additional kits for sale for the speedy worker.
Lab fee:
$30. I will supply the following materials for
three boxes: Cardboard, wallpaper, lining,
label, punch, needle, thread, primer, paste, clips and
smoothing tool
Student supply
list will be sent upon class confirmation. |
