What's on at the Ralph Lewis Bindery

Lobo Pop up.jpg

Explore the intricate world of pop-up books. You will be making two books; one in which you discover the different folds which create different moving 3D constructions and the other based on the nursery rhyme Hey diddle-diddle which will be made into a concertina book.
