Class Fee: $60
In this unique class we will explore the foundations of pop up design and paper cutting while creating one of a kind pop up valentines for loved ones. Students will learn foundational “folds” for pop up elements and then create their own valentines. Students can personalize provided pop up design templates, or dream up their own imaginative way to use the folds they have learned to create their own pop up design for their cards.
With an introduction to paper cutting technique, students can expand on their designs and create something enchanting. Artists will have some multimedia options if they wish to adorn their pop up elements and card pages (such as watercolor, colored pencils, etc), or may opt to let the cut paper speak for itself.
In this one day worksop we will cover: the basic rules underlying pop up mechanics, beginning pop up “folds”, proper knife handling, foundational paper cutting skills, and the basics of pop up design. This class is suitable for artists of all skill levels. All materials included.
