Special Events
How Pop-up Books Are Made
Presented by the Price Lab for Digital Humanities, this workshop will feature graphic designer and paper engineer Kelli Anderson demystifying how pop-up books are made. Anderson will show her design process for 3D elements, including how to build “blanks”, envision 2D design on 3D surfaces, set up a print file for a dimensional project, and effectively work with a printer. Participants will receive a laser-cut kit of paper pieces, which will be assembled into a “sliceform” pop-up—taken directly from Anderson’s new book, “Alphabet in Motion.” Free and open to the public. Register for the talk and the workshop separately.
