You have looked at pop-up books. You are stymied by the question: “How do I adapt these whimsical, dynamic structures to make MY OWN pop-ups?” This workshop answers that question by introducing three foundational paper engineered structures and demonstrating the steps to innovation. To add to the fun, you will employ an innovative roll-up binding approach (think scroll rather than codex) for the pop-up folios. In the end you will have a tidy, bound collection of 12 study models that will propel you to the next step of pop-up invention. All are welcome! A materials kit will be mailed to participants prior to the workshop.

This class will be conducted live on Zoom. Participants will receive an email from Peters Valley at least 48 hours prior that includes a link and a password. Only registered participants will be admitted.
