Workshop: Pop-up Books with Robert Crowther
This workshop will be a rare opportunity to see how a pop-up book is produced, looking at roughs and proofs through to the finished book. There will be a practical demonstration of various pop-up techniques and then some of these can be used for participants to produce their own creations. Please bring along your preferred drawing and colouring materials, scissors, rulers and a gluestick: Robert will supply the card!Robert Crowther was born in Leeds and went to Norwich School of Art and the Royal College of Art in London. After college he worked as a freelance graphic designer for Madame Tussaud's Waxworks and the London Planetarium. His whole freelance career stems from two projects produced at the Royal College: his Most Amazing Hide-and-Seek Alphabet Book and a biscuit self-portrait, which led to tv appearances on the Generation Game and several children's programmes.
Robert has worked with Walker Books since 1985, producing well over 30 pop-ups in that time. He frequently visits schools to show his books and give children the chance to make their own pop-up illustrations. He lives in Cornwall and his new book this year is Pop-up Cornwall, published by Mabecron Books.
