Photo Pop-Ups: Make Your Images 3D with Shawn Sheehy (Online)

Schedule:  Jul 12 & 14, 2021 -- 1pm - 7pm (ET) with 3pm - 5pm break; 
12pm - 6pm (CT); 11am - 5pm (MT); 10am - 4pm (PT);

PHOTOGRAPHERS: Are you looking for an imaginative way to draw attention to your images?

BOOK ARTISTS: Are you looking for innovative ways to incorporate photo into your books?

ART MAKERS: Do you have tons of images on your phone just begging for further play?

Answering “Yes” means that you are ready to explore the intersection of photography and paper engineering; in short, PHOTO POP-UPS. This workshop unpacks the fundamentals of paper engineering by discussing tools and materials, examining trade book examples, and ultimately building a series of foundational structures. And because YOUR photos are what matters most to you, there will be dedicated time to incorporating your own images into paper-engineered structures. You will leave the class with a bound collection of models and a means of satisfying the itch to take your photos one step further.
