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.

Best replacement option for 2025 Tesla Model Y Performance
Size: Combo Pack (26" & 20"), Style: Top Lock Narrow, Size: Combo Pack (26" & 20"), Style: Top Lock Narrow
Outstanding replacement option for 2025 Tesla Model Y Performance (Pre-Juniper), so much smoother than the OEM wipers. Very easy to replace. They seem very durable after testing on all wiper settings. Definitely keep the windshield clearer without streaks. Seem to also have more stability on mounting compared to OEM option. 15/10 replacement for the cost, can’t beat it.

Reliable and Essential Power Steering Fluid for Honda Vehicles
I recently purchased the Honda 08206-9002PE Power Steering Fluid to top off the power steering reservoir in my Honda Accord. The process was straightforward: I drained the old fluid and replaced it with this Honda-specific fluid. The difference was immediately noticeable. The fluid is designed to meet Honda’s stringent specifications, which is crucial for maintaining proper steering performance and longevity of the power steering components. After adding the new fluid, the steering response was noticeably smoother and quieter. There was a reduction in the whining noise that sometimes occurs with old or low-quality fluid. The pack of three is very convenient, offering a good value and ensuring that you have extra on hand for future maintenance. The bottles are well-sealed and easy to pour, with no spills or messes. One of the benefits of using the Honda 08206-9002PE fluid is that it’s formulated to prevent foam and protect against corrosion, which helps in extending the life of your steering system. It’s always reassuring to use a product that is specifically recommended by the manufacturer. Overall, Honda 08206-9002PE Power Steering Fluid is a high-quality product that delivers excellent performance and reliability. It’s a great investment for anyone looking to keep their Honda’s power steering system in top condition. Highly recommended for its effectiveness and value!
