By building a handful of basic units, joined in varied and interesting ways, we will construct housing for books, ephemera, and small objects. The principles of boxmaking -- how to measure, cut, cover, assemble -- will be explained and practiced starting on our first morning together. After an initial couple of projects designed by me, participants will make boxes in answer to the question:\"What type of box does this object need?\"\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eParticipants will learn how to evaluate books and small objects for the proper box: the box as storage container, display case, protective enclosure. They will learn about the properties of materials (paper, board, cloth, adhesives) and how these materials interact with each other. Measuring and cutting materials, for both single boxes and editions, are two skills which will be developed during this workshop.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003chr\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Barbara Mauriello\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAs an artist and proprietor of a bookbinding studio, \u003ca href=\"http:\/\/centerforbookarts.org\/people\/barbara-mauriello\"\u003eBarbara Mauriello\u003c\/a\u003e has spent over four decades making artists’ books, teaching bookbinding, and collaborating with visual artists and writers in producing limited editions of their work in the book format.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eHer faculty positions include several New York institutions: Center For Book Arts; the School of Visual Arts; the International Center of Photography; Bank Street College, Graduate School of Education; and SUNY, Purchase.
