Pop-up workshops held in schools or libraries can be up to 4 sessions per day. These can take the form of a demonstration of techniques or be a hands-on practical session.

The workshops can be adapted to most age groups and there is also one for teachers too.  You can hear an audio interview with some schoolchildren here.

See Robert Crowther’s Calendar for events near you.

'This was a wonderfully interactive session with children and adults totally engrossed for well over an hour.  The results were stunning. Robert is a great tutor, encouraging the children and offering help and advice.'
Richard Young, ELH, Cambridgeshire Libraries

''The day was such a success. It's great to see children so enthusiastic about books. Today, lots of children were asking for 'that football book'! I can't wait to see some of the pop-ups that the children made. We will hopefully have a display in-store.''
Kate Tolhurst, Bookseller at Waterstones, Stratford-upon-Avon

''Just a note to say a huge thank-you for all you did to make the Big Book Bash such a success on Saturday - you were wonderful! We have some terrific photos of you creating small masterpieces with the children.''
Marilyn Brocklehurst, North Norfolk Children's Book Centre.

''I learned how to make pop-ups''  ''I think it was fun. We should have more times like this.''
''I liked looking at the books. I will definitely remember it.''
Children's comments from Hunstanton Library

''It was a very successful event at Merlin School and the children loved you and your books. I hope we can arrange another event with you sometime in the future.''
The Golden Treasury Bookshop, Southfields, London

''I knew it was obvious that he loved the 'Flight' book while you were here, but after you left he refused to break physical contact with the book. After you left, he went outside to play and decided to climb the neighbor's pear tree. I found him stuck in the tree, he couldn't get down...because he was holding onto the book and he didn't want to drop it. He read/played with it all evening and I made him put it on the shelf for the night, but when I woke him in the morning his arm was around it - he decided to sleep with it.”
Nathaniel's mom, Kathryn, as told to Mary McCagg, Candlewick Press.
