Today's full-day pop-up paper engineering experience taught by our very talented guest tutor, Sue Welfare, artist and printmaker, was a great success.


Sue went above and beyond and had even block printed lots of lovely book cover papers last night in readiness for today's experience.


The morning focussed on the group learning the basic mechanics and techniques used for pop-up paper elements and engineering. Each student created their own books with individual pages dedicated to specific techniques.


After lunch, featuring plenty of tasty bakes from Fanoggins Bakery, the group went on to put the techniques they'd learnt earlier into practice by creating either a pop-up room, a card or another element.


We of course kept everyone fuelled with plenty of teas, coffees and home-baked cookies & brownies, and I took lots of photos at the various different stages of the day. You couldn't keep me out of the studio ... I found it all very interesting and I'll probably aim to join in on the next one.


With that in mind, Sue is returning to us next year for more experiences - pop-up paper engineering, linocut printing, and fabulous block printing on paper and fabric:
