Make Something Tiny. See the World Differently.
There’s something magical about making a world in miniature. In my workshops, you’ll step away from the everyday and into a tiny space where your imagination gets to take over. Whether you’re creating a diorama, a tiny room, a miniature gallery, or a scene from your own story, you’ll discover just how much possibility can fit inside a very small space.
My workshops are hands-on, playful, and designed for curious people of all skill levels. You don’t need to consider yourself an artist to have a great time. I’ll guide you through the process, share the tricks and techniques I’ve learned as a miniature artist, and provide plenty of inspiration and encouragement along the way.
But the best part? You leave with something you made yourself: a tiny world that tells a story, sparks a memory, or simply makes you smile.
What are people saying about this workshop experience?
We took the miniature world workshop as an experience birthday gift for a dear friend. We had so much fun! We gave Lara our miniature world ideas before hand and she gave each of us a tailor-made list of ideas for our projects. She also made sure that we had the supplies on hand to make our vision possible. We had never done something like this before but the instructions and help Lara provided gave us the confidence to leave with a completed project we were proud of, as well as having a great time in the process. I highly recommend taking this class! -Jacqui Dowsett
