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.
With the BAG WITH TOOLS FOR CARTONNAGE
you have the essential tools for crafting cartonnage designs.
You only have to add a snap-off knife, a pair of scissors, metal ruler, and tapes.
If you want to customize the tools to fit your company, please let me know!
With the FOUR ROLLS OF LINEN BOOK CLOTH you have a beautiful mix of colors
to start crafting your cartonnage designs.

their customers to learn a new craft.
