Pop-up book creator elicits laughs at Mazza Museum conference
FINDLAY — How does one make a pop-up book? They throw a bunch of paper into a machine, and voila, Matthew Reinhart joked. “Done! Easy! Give me money,” Mr. Reinhart shouted as the audience broke into fits of laughter. Mr. Reinhart — a paper engineer and the creator of best-selling blockbuster pop-up guides for Star Wars, Game of Thrones, Transformers, Frozen, and more — presented at the Mazza Museum’s 30th annual Summer Conference on Tuesday. His presentation was a fascinating trapeze act that swung between humor and earnest passion as he walked the audience through how he produces pop-up books. The University of Findlay’s Mazza Museum, which holds the world’s largest collection of original picture book art, uses its annual summer conference as a means to unite educators and book lovers to learn the behind-the-scenes of authors and illustrators.
Flights of fancy: The Mazza Museum delves into the world of unearthly monsters
FINDLAY — For Dan Chudzinski, a bison jaw and moose cranium are artistic treasures; they are materials that can help an audience transcend into the fantastical world. That is just the objective at the 10th annual Enchanted Brush exhibit at the University of Findlay’s Mazza Museum, where visitors can peer into the worlds of unearthly monsters and fairytale characters. The Mazza Museum is showcasing a selection of fantasy artworks from across the world. The exhibition, which opened June 21 and will run through Aug. 30, is free and open to the public. This year’s theme is Heroes Welcome. “The idea for Heroes Welcome was that every great story has a hero,” said Chudzinski, director of curation and exhibitions at Mazza and founder of the Enchanted Brush exhibit. “Heroes come in all shapes and sizes, and so, if you ask an artist to interpret that theme, I knew that we would be guaranteed to find a few surprises, which is precisely what inspired the exhibition.”
