Think big but work tiny!
In this miniature-making course, you will design your own miniature room while learning about the rich history of the pocket-sized art form. Little by little, you'll craft mini furniture and decor using materials like clay, cardboard, and fabric. It's a small world with plenty of room for students of all experience levels.
Each class, students will learn a different method for creating a miniature version of a piece of furniture, art or decor, with a short historical lesson about the history of miniature-making as it applies to that day’s objective. Students will each have their own 12"x12" room to furnish throughout the course.
Students will be asked to bring the following supplies to each class:
-Small self-healing cutting mat
-Tweezers
-X-acto knife with extra blades
-Small sewing scissors
-Ruler/straight edge
-Small paint brushes
Dependent on each week’s lesson, the classroom will have the following materials supplied: hot glue, super glue, glue dots, rubber cement, tape, a rotary cutter, card stock, thin fabrics, paint, air dry clay and small recyclables.
