Curio Case

The Curio Case is a portable, interactive display inspired by our Cabinet of Curiosities. Designed for creatives of all ages, it invites you to curate your own exhibition, using your artworks or themed prints from the Centre for Print Research (CFPR).

Made from lightweight pine and poplar plywood with sandblasted aluminium fittings, it’s both durable and beautifully crafted. The case can be used alone or with our mobile print studio, encouraging hands-on making and display.

Available to hire for schools, galleries, art clubs, and community groups, the Curio Case is a fun and inspiring tool for learning, creativity, and collaboration.
