Upcoming Workshops
In Articulated Paper Dolls, students will learn how to design and construct their own jointed paper dolls that can move and emote. While these dolls are great for play, their full range of motion also makes them perfect for stop motion animation, puppetry, and book arts.
Like tunnel books, carousel books create tiny worlds in miniature, but the structure allows for multiple vignettes to be viewed, either linearly or in the round. In this class, students will learn two carousel book structures: a single segment structure which can be combined with others to form a completed carousel book, and a multi-segment book, where the segments are created together from strips of paper and then sewn into the final structure.
This class introduces students to the building blocks of paper engineering: pop-up shapes, pull tabs, pockets, and more. Students will learn how paper engineering can serve as "animated illustrations" for narratives, in the simplest of greetings cards or the most complicated of artist books.
In this class, students will expand on the Tunnel Book to create a larger and fully collapsible toy theatre with paper dolls. We’ll make panels like a traditional stage set backdrop, and also make some translucent screens for shadow puppet play.
