About the Workshop:

This in-person class at Center for Book Arts is taught by instructor Maria Veronica San Martin

Boxmaking is an essential skill for any bookbinder. The clamshell box is a terrific way to protect and preserve a first edition, an antiquarian book, an artist’s book or a suite of prints. It keeps out light, dust and prevents the wear and tear on the shelf. This class will focus on the basic techniques – accurate measuring, cutting, and gluing. The critical aspect of making a clamshell box is precision in measuring. The 1st tray needs to hold a book or sheets without rubbing but without room for movement. The 2nd tray needs to fit the first. And the cover needs to pull it all together so it opens and closes properly and stands up straight. Participants will come away with a finished clamshell box to hold a book — great opportunity for book artists and bookbinders!


Required Materials:

  • A book that you would like to make a box for 
  • Height: Anywhere between 1” and 2”
  • The book itself should be no smaller than 4”x6” and no larger than 11”x9”
  • Bone folder
  • Olfa Snap-off knife with replacement blades

All other materials will be provided by Center for Book Arts at no additional cost.

Ghosted by customer support
My Kidisle frother stopped working after just two weeks and only displayed an error code. I contacted customer support and initially received a quick response. They acknowledged the issue and suggested airing out the unit for two days, which I did, but it didn’t resolve the problem. I followed up twice after that and haven’t received any response in over 10 days. Very disappointing experience with both the product and the lack of follow-up support.

Best purchase for coffee lovers
Color: White-Stainless
I use this every morning and anytime I have guests over, it’s become a staple in my kitchen. It heats and froths milk perfectly, giving that smooth, creamy texture every time. Super easy to use with simple controls, and cleanup is just as easy. It looks great on the counter too. This is a great product if you enjoy delicious coffee at home and want to save money by not buying coffee from coffee shops. Definitely a great buy.

Make your Cappuccinos!
Color: White
I purchased this after a trip to France. I drank a lot of cafe cremes, pretty much like a cappuccino, and decided I need it in my like every day. Easy to use. Didn’t come with instructions but I was able to figure it out. Takes a little time but works well for what I want to achieve. Love the glass pitcher. Doesn’t spill when pouring. It’s very quiet while frothing super easy to clean. I love it!

Great frother
Color: Matte Black
It makes a great milk froth and heats well. One thing however, in spite of respecting the line limit it spills out and you have to clean the whole thing. So don’t fill it up to the line limit.
