Fine cartonnage is the art of crafting boxes and cartonnage designs with its origins in the 18th Century.
Since 2003 I have been reinventing the artisanal savoir-faire of cartonnage in respect of the traditional techniques inherited from the master makers of the 18th Century. I always wanted to do something creative, but I spent a long time searching for what kind of creativity, until I went to a box making workshop, also called 'cartonnage'. I've been making boxes and cartonnage designs by hand in a traditional way ever since. With my studio in The Hague, the Netherlands, I love to teach creatives all over the world how to craft boxes and cartonnage designs. To elevate their own creative work or to learn a new hobby.
In my book CRAFTING FINE CARTONNAGE. BASICS & BEYOND
I'm teaching you the skills to craft your own cartonnage designs.
The book consists of step-by-step instructions of 11 designs and 9 videos of the basics
that you can watch on the portal of my website.
On the portal you can also download the pdf of the book.
I love partnering with companies who enjoy inspiring
their customers to learn a new craft.
Enjoy crafting,
