Pop-Up Design and Paper Mechanics

This comprehensive guide to pop-up design and paper mechanics is a delightful introduction to the fun, surprising and intriguing aspects of a fascinating craft. Duncan Birmingham’s accessible approach to pop-up theory and practice distils the numerous mechanisms into a logical set of 18 underlying shapes and the techniques for building these shapes is methodically explained with step-by-step pictures and text. This is a book that will appeal to craft/hobby enthusiasts who make their own greeting cards, but is also a useful aid to teachers of Art, Design and Technology, designers, illustrators and sculptors.
