The French Tablet Display Structure - New Class at the Center!
June 10, 2009

The French Tablet Display Structure, French Tablet Toolbox, and Not Your Mother's Carousel or Star Book: Georgette Freeman's French Tablet display structure is a delightful hybrid - part book, part accordion, part box, and part chemise.

It's a new class at the Center, running next week - click here to register!

Untie the doors, and the structure opens to reveal panel after panel for displaying artwork, text, and/or other objects. A version of this structure is featured online at Ink Monkey.

The French Tablet Toolbox is a unique and sophisticated toolbox based on Georgette's French Tablet display structure. Sharpen your box making skills and get specific instructions, with variations, for this versatile and useful form. If you use this box to hold calligraphy or bookbinding tools, it's sure to be a conversation piece wherever you work. And, as if that were not enough, Georgette will also be revealing for the first time in any workshop, her novel, 21st Century methods for making the carousel (also known as a star book).

Pre-cut materials will be provided for you to make and personalize the structures Georgette will be presenting.

The class is next week - register by Thursday, June 11!
