Tiny Spaces, Big Skills: Mini Room Box

Description

We need a minimum of 4 people to run this multi-part workshop. Join us for a Miniature Master Class and build an entire dollhouse room box from start to finish! In this three-part multi-skill workshop, you’ll begin by assembling your laser cut wooden room box and design every detail to fit your personal aesthetic—from wallpaper and flooring to chair seat fabrics and lampshade materials. You’ll also get an introduction to 3D printing software, designing a picture frame, and watching them print in class. Learn simple wiring to create a working, battery-powered table lamp to light up your scene. In addition, you’ll assemble a chair and cube bookshelf from furniture kits, make a miniature plant, and add final touches like books and a tiny tissue box. By the end of this class series, you’ll have a stunning, fully customized room box that showcases an impressive range of miniature-making skills to take home. The room box will measure 8" x 7" x 4" with 1/12th scale sized miniature furniture and accessories.
