Exploring the infinite three-dimensional possibilities of paper, combining creativity and technique, is one of Silvia Hijano Coullaut's specialties. Founder of the Libracos studio, she dedicates herself to the creation of pop-up books, handcrafted works that not only transmit stories and contents but also provide a singular and impactful experience.
After doing an introduction to Pop-Up Book Creation in her first Domestika course, Silvia now teaches advanced techniques for building your own three-dimensional book.
Learn the step-by-step process of creating multiple scenarios using a wide variety of mechanisms before hand-binding your creation. In the end, you will bring to life a unique work: a foldable map-book that will also work as a pop-up book.

videolarını çok sevdim ancak çalışma ebatları olsaydı çok daha iyi olurdu. boyutlar olmadan mekanizmaları yapmak biraz zor oluyor. yine de videolarınız harika.
