3D Paper Craft: Pop-Up Valentines Day Cards
Give the sweetest gift of a pop-up card to a loved one this Valentine’s Day!
Join us as we learn the basic principles of pop-ups and make our own customized pop-up greeting card with artist Helen Zhong / @hzhcomics . You’ll learn the two basic building blocks of making 3D paper art: parallel folds and v-folds and then get the chance to “freestyle” with your own pop-up card! No prior paper arts experience necessary.
It will be a cozy, meditative evening of 3D paper art making!
All materials and warm beverages will be provided, just bring the love you wish to fold into your cards. <3
What can I expect from a project at RecCreate?
Projects are the perfect chance to finally make that thing you saved on tiktok or pinned months ago, where all you have to do is show up! We curate the coolest materials and walk you through it step by step. Naturally, you leave with the sickest me-made piece for yourself or as the sweetest gift. Our emphasis is on craft, self expression and creative empowerment.
About Your Instructor:
Helen @hzhcomics is a self-taught artist and Valentine’s day enthusiast who makes zines, comics, and pop-ups. They have been fascinated by pop-up books since they were a child, and continue to channel those feelings of wonder, curiosity, and play into their creative practice. They love to work with a combination of traditional painting, digital illustration, and papercut collage techniques. Helen lives in Brooklyn and enjoys feeding pigeons, taking pictures of trees, and looking at the world through heart-shaped sunglasses.
