Lang Ranch Elementary School Holiday Pop-up Workshop

Thanks to everyone at the incomparable LRES in Thousand Oaks, CA who attended my December 6th pop-up workshop and Hugo Cabret automaton slide show.

Pop-up workshop:
With a 100% success rate on making their pop-up holiday cards work (we finished with a room full of paper doves with flapping wings), the student-artists all deserve a round of applause for their exemplary work!

Automaton slide show:
It was a pleasure to share my automaton experiences with the inspired young writers at this event. Thanks for all your great questions!

Special thanks to Principal Chris Ridge, Patricia, Katie & Samantha Smart, Clare Ju and Evalerie L’Heureux for their invaluable assistance.
