Join us for the first event in the "Tinkering with Text Technologies" series where graphic designer and paper engineer Kelli Anderson will de-mystify how pop-up books come together. As the creator of This Book Is A Camera (MoMA), This Book Is A Planetarium (Chronicle), and Alphabet in Motion, Anderson will give a presentation showing her design process for 3-D elements: how to build ‘blanks’, how to envision 2-D design on 3-D surfaces, how to set up a print file for a dimensional project, and how to most effectively work with a printer. Following the presentation will be a Q&A, a special exhibit in the Lea Library for guests to visit, and Anderson will have a limited number of copies of her newest book, Alphabet In Motion, available for purchase and signing.

This event is free and open to the public.
