Art Gems - I ♥ Pop Ups with Trisha Klus

Sat Oct 19, 10 am - 2 pm

Who doesn't love pop-ups? In this one-day class participants will learn how to make a variety of entertaining pop-up mechanisms. These will form the pages of our book, protected with a soft wrap cover. The theme of the book is "Hearts". Students will go home with a wonderful pop-up book and notes to use as a reference for creating future pop-up projects. All materials required to complete this project are provided by the instructor.
