Pop-up books are most magical when impossible images emerge with the turn of a page. In this workshop you will create a whole new set of miniature structures that will explore strategies for creating expansive structures in miniature books. Using cardstock, a small set of simple hand tools, and not a lick of adhesive, you will build and then bind a variety of pop-up structures. Everyone is welcome; participants with binding or paper craft skills will have a leg-up... but these are techniques for all levels.
