3-D Collage: Pop-Up Accordion Panorama

Venue: Online (Zoom)

Days & Dates: Tuesday & Friday, October 14 & 17 of 2025

Times: PT, 10 AM – 1 PM

Class Description:
In this two session workshop, witness in delight as your hand-cut panoramic collage emerges in 3-D from the pages of an accordion book!

Participants will learn a variety of paper pop-up techniques using card stock and an exacto knife. After an introduction to collage techniques, participants will create a continuous mixed media collage on a long paper panel, which will be folded into an accordion style book. On the folds of the accordion, students will use pop up techniques to cut through their collages, creating three dimensional areas that both pop out, and recede. The panorama will be attached between covered boards (these can be collaged too!), complete with a ribbon tie closure.
