Nothing defines ‘surprise’ as well as an unexpected pop-up structure in a book, a card, or even an invitation... these pop-ups cannot help but delight. You’ll make more than half-a-dozen basic 3-D structures, and assemble an easy Sampler-book put to them in. You will learn tips for adapting these structures to any paper or book project. Bonus: You will create an original pop-up card – ready to send, so give some thought to the lucky recipient.

Instructor and bio: Susan M. Callan has been a student and advocate of Book Arts since the early 1990’s. In the mid 2000’s, she was invited to join a 12-artist team, each teaching their own discipline under the auspices of The Creativity Center. Since then, she’s been teaching (and, of course, still learning) all aspects of Book Arts and Creativity. Since 2017, she has taught Book Arts; The Creativity Factor at the national Focus On Book Arts conference in Forest Grove, Oregon, in addition to other venues closer to home, Bainbridge Island.
Podcast with Susan talking about the skill and craft of creating artist’s books and her favorite places to see artist’s book collections. She mentions BARN being in the think tank stage and it was opened in June 2017. This is a great place to take a workshop!
