Please come join Kathy Lobo who will show you how to construct a pop-up book. Just in time for Valentine’s day, you can also use these techniques to make pop-up cards. You will come away with a sample book with space for notetaking and it will highlight the different construction methods. After learning how to make the sample book, you will make a 3”w x 6 ¼”h collaged accordion telling the story Hey Diddle Diddle. All levels are welcome and materials and tools will be provided. If you have your own favorite hand tools, please bring them along.

No experience necessary. Basic materials included.
