About this workshop

This is a story about a book inside a book. We make a book and then a pop-up box to go inside it. Inside the box is a present – a pop-up house and garden. The final pop-up is a room inside the house. On a table is a gift – a book.

In this workshop, join artist Paul Johnson to make a pop-up book within a book.

 

Places for this workshop are limited. Please book 1 ticket on behalf of your group. The maximum group size is 6 people. Each family group will make their own pop-up book together.

We will contact you to confirm the number in your group and the ages of the children. No unaccompanied children.

 Tutor
