PRESERVING THE WORK: MAKING A BESPOKE SOLANDER BOX
Give your artwork the presentation and protection it deserves by learning to create a bespoke Solander (Clamshell) box. Widely used by artists, printmakers, photographers, galleries, museums and collectors, the Solander box is considered the gold standard for storing and presenting works on paper, artist books, photographs, prints and other treasured pieces.
In this intensive one day workshop, you will construct a custom fitted archival box designed specifically for your own artwork, portfolio, artist book or special object. Guided step-by-step through the process, you will learn professional box making techniques while gaining valuable knowledge about archival materials, structure, design and craftsmanship.
Combining practicality with beautiful presentation, a handmade Solander box not only protects your work from light, dust and handling, but also elevates the way it is stored, transported and exhibited.
Suitable for artists, printmakers, photographers, bookbinders, collectors, conservators and anyone interested in creating beautiful archival storage for their work.
