Fall Session 1: Miniature Worlds
Week of Sept 15 – Oct 20
🗓️ Six-Week Series | Join for one class or the full program
🎨 Flexible registration options available
📍 The Sheboygan Collective
In this imaginative youth art series, artists will design and build their own miniature world—from tiny furniture and hand-sculpted figures to custom-built 3D homes, habitats, and detailed surroundings.
Each young artist will start from scratch, choosing whether to create a playful interactive environment or a still-life diorama that tells a story. They'll learn foundational skills in sculpting, construction, design, and storytelling—bringing big ideas to life on a small scale.
Whether your child joins us for all six weeks or drops in for one or two sessions, they’ll get to create a unique component of their miniature world—like a tiny character, an architectural feature, or an accessory that fits into the larger theme.
This series encourages problem-solving, fine motor skill development, and creative thinking, while offering students a chance to slow down and enjoy the magic of working in miniature.New students are welcome! The first class will include time to develop their own original character so they can fully participate in the storytelling experience.
