The Pocket Paper Engineer

A piece of paper, a pair of scissors, two cuts and a fold, and you've got a pop-up!

The Pocket Paper Engineer is a brand NEW how-to workbook that guides the reader through the process of designing and constructing pop-ups!

Filled with do-it-yourself models and easy-to-follow visual and verbal instructions, each form is illustrated with a playful pull-out card that can be cut and assembled, then stored in a pocket within the book.

Also included are instructions for creating your own pop-ups, tips and suggestions on their design, and discussions on paper, adhesives, and pop-up mechanics.

This is a workbook for adults and children alike who are looking for some creative fun!

Based on Carol Barton's twenty years of teaching experience in the fields of bookbindintg, dimensional design, and paper engineering, The Pocket Paper Engineer offers a unique approach to sculptural creation and functional problem-solving.

The book's do-it-yourself format allows the reader to quickly construct and comprehend basic pop-up mechanisms, then encourages experimentation and individual creativity by suggesting ways to adapt each pop-up form to one's personal artistic motifs. 6 x 9.5 inches, 68 pages, wire-O bound in hard cover.
