Plunge into Pop-Ups

  • Minnesota Center for Book Arts 1011 South Washington Avenue #100 Minneapolis, MN, 55415 United States (map)

Thursday, October 8; 6–9pm CT

Learn fundamental elements of constructing pop-ups--from design and construction to tools and materials! 

Together, we will create three accessible pop-up structures, plus three additional structures that are variations of the first three. Then, you will plan and work on your own pop-up page with content and structures of your choice with guidance from the instructor. We'll end our time together by sharing our pop-ups, along with questions and observations that came up while making them. Come away with new skills, examples of basic structures, a work-in-progress pop-up (along with a plan for its next steps), and resources for further learning and making.

Level: Beginner. All skill levels are welcome.
Certificate: 3 hours, Category D
