Advanced Techniques for Creating Pop-Up Books

Overview

“Hi, I'm Silvia. Passionate about books since I was little, I always listened with enthusiasm to the stories told at my grandfather's printing house and how he spent a lifetime painting maps on a large lithographic stone. My passion for them made me start my studies. I began to know the secrets of books and after much snooping I arrived at the place where I learned everything I know about this precious trade: the artisan bookbinding school-workshop of the Royal Palace of Madrid. After two years of dreaming in the palace and with a thousand knowledge absorbed, I decided to set up my own workshop-studio: LIBRACOS.

I'm not looking for a way to do things, things come and I shape them. Each project is a seed that comes to life, paper engineering, infinite books, Victorians ... It doesn't matter, they all have a place in this workshop.”

Some of you will already know me from the "Introduction to pop-up" course but I'll introduce myself for those who don't. Since I was little, I've loved disassembling and assembling things. There were so many things at my parents and grandparents' house, my grandparents had a print shop and the family loved ...”
