Boo York City’s editor, Boo Paterson, is teaching private classes in New York this summer on how to bring stories to life using pages from damaged books to make 3D illustrations.
Paterson’s book sculpture of Aesop’s fable of The Farmer & The Snake
Paterson – who is a renowned paper artist and author of Papercut This Book – will teach you the techniques that illustrators use to come up with creative ideas, as well as the manual skills needed to create a book sculpture.
