Cartonnage Craft
The word
cartonnage comes to us from Egyptology and refers to the wet layers placed onto surfaces, think mummies. This term is used in Japan for the craft of decorating boxes, picture frames, trays, and other items embellished with colorful design fabrics. It is also enjoyed in France and Northern Europe.
Tilda Cartonnage Lessons
I noticed cartonnage items first at
Swany (The fabric store in Kamakura) and then again at the
36th 2012 Japan Hobby Show in Yokohama. The
Tilda exhibit caught my eye because I recognized the fabrics which are currently available at Swany and because of the lessons underway for cartonnage. Alas the lessons were in Japanese, well, we are in Japan. However, Northern Europeans’ ability to speak multiple languages was demonstrated once again to me when one of the exhibitors offered a greeting in English. We chatted about the possibility of lessons in English.
