About the Workshop
In the 1960’s, Bronx-based Child Guidance Books published a series that exploits a unique mechanical approach to animation: a self-pulling mechanism—integrated into the binding— that causes figures to dance on the page without apparent means. Wouldn’t you like to add this animation strategy to your book artist toolbox? Join paper engineer Shawn Sheehy in building this five-spread workshop model, featuring various applications of this dynamic and versatile mechanism. Lift volumes, create lateral and rotational movement, and more! All you’ll need is a handful of simple tools, a kit of pre-cut pieces, and an interest in engaging with paper mechanics. All skill levels welcome. (See the structure in motion here: https://youtu.be/SJUc8Nmpd0A)
