Workshop: "Pop-Up Paper Dioramas"
Want to amaze and astound all your friends with magical pop-up book creations? Register for Jennifer York’s one-week workshop at John C. Campbell Folk School to learn how.
REGISTER:
During this workshop students will explore the power of the paper hinge and accordion fold to create multi-layered, pop-up pictorial diorama books that collapse back into hardbound covers. You will work with affordable, portable, readily-available materials and begin with small cards and samples to understand pop-up engineering. Using these materials participants will build two fascinating book structures: a tunnel (or peepshow) book and a carousel (or star) book, each with several intricately cut pages arranged in layers from front to back. You will then decorate your book covers with related collage materials, varnish them for sturdy protection, construct simple stands for display, and collapse them back flat for the journey home. Students please bring to class your sketches, imagery, photographs, writings, text, and any inspirational materials to help spark creativity for building your own unique paper worlds. Open to all skill levels.

These artists have creatively manipulated paper through a wide variety of techniques and processes – folding, cutting, collaging, layering, burning, sculpting, and even dyeing with household chemicals..”
