miniature Mouse House

In this one day workshop we will create a whimsical little world inside a shoebox!

The world of “miniatures” has come back into popularity and we are so excited to dedicate a whole day of crafting tiny items to create our very own miniature play house. We will use a variety of mixed media supplies: paper, wood, cork, fabric, air dry clay, wool, wire, beads, rocks, etc. The possibilities of what might develop are truly endless. The only limit is your imagination!

Our Classic campers will receive a lesson focusing on safe use of a hot glue gun, power drills, hand saw and box cutters as essential tools to practice using in this project.
