Abstract
New and cheaper technologies, such as home cutting machines and downloadable templates have created new opportunities for illustrators. Whereas publishing pop-up books was previously very expensive or time consuming, this process has now been streamlined and democratised bringing new possibilities for authorial illustration, small publishing, educational and collaborative projects. During the pandemic many of us turned to craft as a way of supporting personal wellbeing. This paper presents a playful, practice-as-research inquiry into pop-up books and health and suggests how pop-up elements might add value to ongoing trans-disciplinary knowledge exchange and research projects at the University of Plymouth.
