    I started THE CARTONNERIE in 2003, driven by a desire to create, though it took me a while to discover the right path. My journey began when I attended a box-making workshop, learning the art of French Cartonnage.

     

    Since then, I’ve been crafting boxes and cartonnage designs by hand, following traditional French techniques.

     

    Crafting these cartonnage designs allows me to blend creativity with hands-on skills, using materials like greyboard, linen, and velvet to create functional, decorative works of art.

     

    If you're passionate about the art of French Cartonnage and want to learn how to create your own beautiful designs, you're in the right place!

    Sabrine's courses are amazing! They are very easy to follow, along with the instruction videos and handouts. It might take some more time if you decide to create a hinged box in a different size than the course (like I did right from the start, as I wanted to challenge myself a bit having some experience in bookbinding), but she gives all information you need to know to create beautiful packaging. I truly love this craft and am inspired to keep creating more!

    The journey in learning these new skills has been absolutely wonderful and I highly recommend it. The video and picture pdf guide were a perfect bundle to guide a course taker through the entire project. They were clear, concise and easy to understand. The final products look beautiful! Being able to give a touch of elegance|luxury, and overall elevating my simple wedding stationery and pictures made a remarkable difference.
