Small Wonders: The Art of Making Miniatures
Adult Course | Registration opens 3/4/2025 7:00 AM MST
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.
