About this Class
Cartonnage was originally used in ancient Egypt as a way of decoratively covering funerary items. By taking linen or papyrus and plaster, items could be covered decoratively. Today the process is usually added to boxes, cases or other articles to give them a decorative covering and is commonly known artistically as advanced paper mache. Brenda brings fifty years of artistic creativity to her intense interest in Cartonnage.,There is no sewing in cartonnage. The tools are simple and easy to find.
