The Secrets of Paper Engineering and Pop-ups
Taught by Matt Shlian
Ages 11-14, 15 students
Saturday, July 11, 2009 (one session): 10am-12pm
In this workshop, we’ll explore all things pop-up. We’ll cover basic pop-up techniques, mechanisms, and folds which are the building blocks of moveable cards and pop-up structures. The various elements, such as the V-pop, Strut Fold, and Tent Pop, not only sound cool, they are the basic elements from which your creativity can, quite literally, explode! We’ll take what we’ve learned and make mind blowing pop-up cards for our loved ones.
Matthew Shlian received his BFA from Alfred University in 2002, and his MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2006. Currently he is working with scientists as a visiting research scholar at the University of Michigan and teaching at the School of Art and Design in Ann Arbor. His work can be seen in stores around the country and galleries all over the world.
