In an effort to go beyond the printed tutorial or weekend workshop, I’ve created these box models as a teaching tool to assist in the construction of high quality presentation enclosures. These boxes could be used for training at an institution, as a visual aid for an instructor, or to guide a student learning on their own. Each box is made from quality binder’s board and is wrapped in a variety of beautiful handmade paper, from Hook Pottery Paper, with the exception of the Dover book cloth spines.

Clamshell Box Model
$275.00
8.5 x 6.5 x 1.5″
This box model holds: a zine, outlining steps for constructing a clamshell box; jigs, which were used to adjust the dimensions of each box component; and a wrapping model that is a great guide when it comes time to cover each tray. The A Tray, or the tray that holds the contents of the box, is attached with strong magnets allowing the viewer to remove the tray and inspect the underside of its wrapping.

Sampler for Book Artists
$575.00
9.5 x 6.75 x 2.75″
This model is the ultimate box maker’s model. It is similar to the clamshell box in the way that it opens. However, once open, one will find: a slipcase containing a collection of four instructional zines, a wrapper that holds four surface decoration technique plaquettes, and a sample book from Hook Pottery Paper. Below those items, a trap door pivots when pressed in the right place to reveal a hidden compartment full of guides, jigs, and interior modification models. Found within one of these compartments is a USB drive that contains the digital form of the instructional zines, and more.
