POP: an exploration of paper, form and light

Jaffe Center for Book Arts Boca Raton, Florida
June 9,10 2012

This is an introductory course for all levels on constructing pop-ups and adding lights to them with paper based electronics. Participants will learn a variety of pop-up mechanisms, basic switches and methods for adding LED lights to their own works of art, books or cards. While an emphasis is on learning pop-up techniques, students will also leave with several working electronic models. No soldering required!

See you on the beach!

Kids of the (pop-up) book

The students and faculty at Albert Einstein Academy and I are working hard on a pop-up book of the school.

We finished 5 spreads and presented them at the school's Evening of the Arts celebration.

Please stop by Terminal D if you're flying through Philly in the next 6 months, I have a group of books on display there.

Workshop at Atelier Graff (963, rue Rachel Est, Montréal)

Atelier de création avec Colette Fu
14 et 15 avril 2012, de 10 h à 17 h
Atelier Graff (963, rue Rachel Est, Montréal)

Les structures pop-up les plus complexes émergent de mécanismes simples qui dépendent uniquement d’un peu de colle, de papier et d’une grande imagination. En compagnie de Colette Fu, apprenez les rudiments de la conception de structures mobiles en papier : fentes, plis angulaires, plateformes et figures tridimensionnelles. Incorporez vos propres photographies, estampes ou dessins dans ces structures pour créer des cartes, des livres et des oeuvres pop-up uniques. L’atelier se donnera en anglais.
Prérequis : être artiste professionnel ou émergent
Frais d’inscription : 200 $ (membre) ou 275 $ (non-membre), taxes en sus, non remboursable.
Nombre de participants : maximum 6
