If you attended and enjoyed our inaugural year’s (2018) event on our artists’ books collection, we have good news for you! Tuesday, April 13th, we are hosting our fifth event, “History of Pop-up Books” from 4-5 pm (virtual event). The zoom link will be emailed to you after you complete the registration.

Two Pop-up artists, Shawn Sheehy and Kevin Steele will talk about the history of pop-up books. They will also discuss their creative work. As this is a virtual event, a short slide show of relevant items from the Rose Library's collection will be shown. After the talks, Shawn Sheehy will provide a fun and brief instruction session in which the audience can learn how to make a simple pop-up.

If you would like to prepare for Shawn’s mini pop-up workshop, you may want to prepare a few things in advance. Please save and print the below image on thick (80 pound paper), and have the following tools at the ready:

• Xacto knife or box cutter
• Ruler or straight edge
• Self-healing mat or thick cardboard to protect the work surface

This event is free and open to both Emory and non-Emory guests. Interested in attending this event? Please register online, and you will receive a registration confirmation with a zoom link.
