NDLPT Cartonnage Workshop

Craft Together. Learn the Skills. Take It Home

Step into my atelier in the Netherlands for a hands-on NDLPT cartonnage workshop where we craft a box with a NDLPT frame© together, step by step.

Over the past months, I’ve had several stitchers ask if they could visit my atelier while traveling through Europe. This workshop is my way of welcoming you in—not just to visit, but to truly make something together. This workshop is all about learning by doing: we work simultaneously, so you can follow the full process from start to finish while creating your own beautifully made box.

Whether you’re new to box making or already have some experience, this workshop gives you practical knowledge, confidence, and inspiration to continue crafting on your own.

What You’ll Do

  • Craft a complete box alongside me, in real time

  • Learn essential techniques for measuring, cutting, assembling, and finishing

  • Understand material choices and construction methods

  • Discover how small details make a big difference in quality and durability

Tips & Tricks You Can Use at Home

Throughout the workshop, I share practical tips and professional tricks that you can easily apply when crafting boxes yourself. You’ll learn how to avoid common mistakes, work more precisely, and adapt the techniques to your own tools and materials.

For Whom

  • Makers, designers, and creatives

  • Beginners who want a strong foundation

  • Experienced crafters looking to refine their technique

  • Anyone who enjoys working with their hands in a focused, inspiring environment

KIND WORDS

Sabrine is a true artist and educator. I had the amazing opportunity to join Sabrine in her studio for the most magical day learning to create a custom folder, and so much more! The 1:1 workshop was a dream. She was incredibly generous with her time, answered all of my questions and offered advice and suggestions. I left with the knowledge, tools and inspiration to continue creating custom folders and designs for my stationery business. Meeting Sabrine and learning from her was not only the highlight of my trip to the Netherlands, it was the highlight of my entire year!

I absolutely loved following Sabrine's workshop in her studio! It surprised me that I was able to craft a luxury box in a short period of time under her guidance. We both were making a box with hinged lid and ribbon closure, and I was in awe of Sabrine's knowledge and craftsmanship. As we were crafting our boxes, she gave me tips and pointers that would elevate the end product, which is a result of her own years of experience. If you are thinking of learning how to craft a beautiful box from Sabrine, definitely do it! If you are local, or travelling to The Netherlands, I would highly opting for an in-person workshop, private or as a group. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!
