This comprehensive guide to pop-up design and paper mechanics is a delightful introduction to the fun, surprising and intriguing aspects of a fascinating craft. Duncan Birmingham’s accessible approach to pop-up theory and practice distils the numerous mechanisms into a logical set of 18 underlying shapes and the techniques for building these shapes is methodically explained with step-by-step pictures and text. Pop-up is shown to be a hands-on, sculptural skill, that is not dependant on mathematical calculation, measuring and technical drawing, indeed no measuring is necessary for most of the pop-ups and only card, scissors and glue are needed to make many highly complex folding sculptures. Duncan demonstrates how sophisticated pop-up designs are constructed and shows how to form a three-dimensional reference book, invaluable for both professional and amateur designers interested in this craft.

Duncan Birmingham has taught paper mechanics at various universities and colleges in Bristol for 20 years. He is the author of several books on the subject, one of which was praised by one of the top paper engineers as ‘The most thorough book to date on the subject’.
