About the Workshop:

Everyone loves a good book, but what's better than one you've made by hand? And not just any straightforward book, but simple pop-up books, flip books, magic pamphlets, pop-up maps, and accordions! In this workshop, participants will explore a variety of structures from flexagons to instant accordion skylines and mountains to stitched triangle star books. If you want to kickstart your creative practice, learn new approaches to content and structure, or just inspire your kid at heart, then this workshop is for you. Come with an open mind! Fun Fact: Pop-up books are meant for all ages, and the earliest surviving example dates back to 1121 CE!
