Making Tiny Furniture: More Miniatures
Adult Course | Registration opens 8/5/2025 10:00 AM MDT
From tiny tables to diminutive dressers and super small settees, learn the art of crafting miniature furniture while working in 1:12 dollhouse scale. Each class will consist of a short historical lesson or demo before we design and craft a mini piece of furniture, using a range of techniques and styles. Throughout the course, build a small but mighty collection of dollhouse scale furniture for play or display. This class builds upon skills from the Small Wonders miniatures course, so some previous miniatures experience is helpful but not required.
