‘Pop-up apprenticeships ’ offered to make pop-up book "Legend: An A-Z of the Lea Valley"

15 ‘pop-up apprentices’ will be coached in paper engineering, bookbinding and printing techniques to help make a unique new book. 

Legend charts a parallel history of the Lea Valley using 3D paper scenes to illustrate the way the area has changed. A factory producing limited edition copies of Legend will open 18-21 September in Stratford. Here visitors can go behind the scenes to witness the creation of an epic publication made by many hands.

Apprentices will become part of the Pop Up Pop Up factory workforce. They will be the public face of the production line, assembling Legend’s intricate pages and engaging audiences in its narrative

Pop Up Pop Up is looking for people with training in art, craft and design disciplines or who have an interest in urban regeneration that can commit to 2 training days (12 and 17 September) and 4 making days (18-21 September). Apprentices will be paid £200 plus travel expenses, receive training, refreshments and their own copy of Legend.
