Pop-Up Box
Rahel Scheufele September 8th - 11th £495.00
This sophisticated pop-up box definitely leaves a lasting impression: as if moved by an invisible hand, the binding is lifted up toward the viewer, instinctively inviting them to pick up the book.
Connected by a special ribbon mechanism, the clamshell box and slipcase work together. Rahel will discuss decorative techniques such as cutouts and Tyvek and paper mosaic. As a special extra, specially manufactured woven ribbons can be incorporated, making each piece a unique work of art.
Experience required.
Articulated
Suzanne Schmollgruber June 21st - 25th £585.00
The displacement of hinges and the incorporation of movable elements give the object a great scope for transformation. This potential will be explored, tested and put into practice during the course. The starting point is the technique of the board book - a book made of thick board pages, commonly seen in children's books: it is the foundation for creating book objects with mobile elements. Participants are asked to let themselves be inspired through creative experimentation and 'build' books that swivel, turn and flip before the leaves are closed, hiding the surprises within.
This is one of Suzanne's favourite areas of book making and her contagious enthusiasm is brought to bear in a class that transforms the book into small mobile pieces of architecture.
Basic experience required
