Book as a Box

Book as a Box is a single-day hands-on workshop at Pyramid Atlantic Art Center that invites participants to repurpose a discarded hardcover book into a functional storage box. By selecting a book with an appealing cover, attendees will learn how to hollow out the interior and reinforce the structure, transforming a forgotten volume into a unique container for keeping secret treasures or other small items. The session emphasizes creative reuse and basic book-arts techniques.
