'CRAFTING FINE CARTONNAGE. BASICS & BEYOND'

learning cartonnage has never been easier

Cartonnage is the art of crafting boxes and cartonnage designs with its origins in the 18th Century

Since 2003 I’ve been reinventing the artisanal savoir-faire of cartonnage in respect of the traditional techniques

inherited from the master makers of the 18th Century

I'm really looking forward teaching you the basics of fine cartonnage and the skills to craft your own designs

In this book you’ll learn 11 cartonnage designs, explained with 9 step-by-step instructions through short videos

You can watch the videos on a portal on my website

You can also download the pdf of the book

I hope that by learning the basics and crafting these designs,

you can combine different elements to create your own cartonnage designs
