Class will cover making décor paste paper for book covers. The paper students make will be used in the construction of a pop up carousel book that will be completed by the end of the class. A popup carousel is a multi-level pop up with two to three levels of pages, each popping into the same space, thus more sculptural. It is more dimensional than a straight pop up and requires careful cutting. There will be a supply list and/or minor material cost. Bring beverages and a sack lunch for a 1/2 hour lunch break.
