Slip Cases

September 12, 2015 @ 12:00 pm - 4:00 pm

In this class, students will make a slip case out of sturdy book board, with a lined interior, and with an applied cover of book cloth.  Measuring for proper overlaps, application of adhesive, and application of bookcloth will be addressed. Students will learn the sequence of cuts and paste-downs necessary to create neat and well-tailored corners.  Once these techniques are learned, they can be applied to the construction of complex clamshell boxes.

Cost:  $110 (Cost includes all materials)

Dates:  Saturday, September 12, 2015, 12:00pm to 4:00pm

Please note that Museum Members receive 10% off the price of tuition. Advanced registration is required. Please call (713) 522-4652 to register.
