A Pop-up and Paper Engineering Workshop

Facilitated by Pritish Bali

Methods Series

Discover how simple sheets of paper can be turned into dynamic, three-dimensional cityscapes. This hands-on workshop explores the art of pop-up and paper engineering, where folds, cuts, and creative techniques bring urban cityscapes to life.

Participants will learn the basics of working with paper – how to fold, cut, and sculpt it in different ways. Using these skills, they will build their own pop-up models of buildings, streets, parks, and other parts of a city or combine the elements to tell a story.

This workshop is ideal for anyone interested in art, design, or engineering. Whether you're trying something like this for the first time or simply enjoy creating things, you're welcome to join!
