2. Play with the building techniques that can be used to enhance and develop them
3. Look at the simple underlying theory and explore the design potential

We’ll also look at and analyse a range of delightful and astounding pop-up books which Duncan will bring for you to enjoy. And fear not … beginners welcome, no maths or measuring involved!
