Each time you turn a page the story actually jumps out towards you. Words, illustration and 3D combine to make a captivating read. The story book has a new element and that is movement! During class there will be opportunities to make 3 levels of pop-ups. This event is structured for families. Bring your children, ages 7-14, and enjoy a fun workshop together, limit of 2 children. You will take home several of your own pop-ups. Designs used in this workshop were created by Robert Sabuda, a very talented book maker and paper engineer. At a free event on July 30th at 6:30PM, Robert Sabuda will talk about his latest book. This event is hosted by Titcomb’s Bookshop and is being held at the Sandwich Library. Stop by and listen to peak your interest in paper engineering. Then join us at this workshop a week later to create some Sabuda designs. LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS EVENT HERE |

Instructor: Diane Scharf
Diane bought her first Pop-Up book by mistake! In 1994, a year after finishing her grad work in the History of Art and Architecture at Temple U, she bought a book about Maxfield Parrish from mail order. When it arrived, she was delighted to find that it had pop-ups and tabs to pull which just added another dimension to the work. She learned that pop-up books were also for adults!
