Kirigami is a form of pop-up that uses only one piece of paper to form the cut-out and structure. In this class, students will paint the covers, fold the accordion, and learn to cut and fold kirigami pieces to include in their book. They will learn about the inks used in painting the cover, the cutting tools used, and the intricate cutting and folding techniques required for successful kirigami, as well as troubleshooting mistakes. In addition to using kirigami in books, this technique can also be used for making cards. Paper and kirigami patterns are provided, as well as printed instructions and an extensive list of print and online resources.
