Secret Stash Treasure Box – CANCELLED

April 4, 2020 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

Secret Stash

UPDATE: The Printing Museum is taking recommended safety precautions regarding COVID-19 and will remain temporarily closed. We regret that this means this workshop will be cancelled, but look forward to scheduling it again at a future date! If you have purchased tickets for this workshop, our staff will be reaching out to you with options. We will still be available to serve our community by email, and continue to closely watch the developing situation. Stay healthy, Houston!


In this class, participants will learn how to turn old books into functional and attractive usable boxes. Students will go through the process of selecting a book, removing the text block, prepping the book for the box structure, and constructing a box to fit in the book. Books, paper, and other materials will be provided. Students will leave the class with the skills to make a Secret Stash Box at home.
