Inspired by I SPY: Walter Wick’s Hidden Wonders, join us to explore storytelling, perspective, and illusion as you create your own tunnel book. Using layered paper cutouts, drawings, and collage elements, you’ll build a miniature three-dimensional scene that reveals surprising details as you look through it. Take inspiration from Walter Wick’s imaginative environments and hidden visual puzzles while experimenting with depth and composition. Leave with a handcrafted tunnel book filled with your own hidden wonders.
