Adventures in Dimensional Paper

Code S0314-24
Workshop participants explore the medium of paper as they create moveable works of art using pop-up books and paper engineering as a starting point. Using a combination of Tyvek and 100# text and 80# cover-weight stocks, participants learn the elements of paper mechanics and then apply them to books, collapsible structures, interactive kinetic design, and foldable sculpture. Techniques covered include curve folding, pleating systems, and modular design. Students are encouraged to bring their own imagery and photographs to work from. All levels are welcome.
