Small Wonders: A Fairy House & Miniature Making Workshop

🧚✨ Fairy House Workshop & Woodland Walk 🌿

Step into a world of imagination, creativity, and a little bit of magic! In this hands-on workshop, participants will design and build their own miniature fairy furniture, doors, and tiny details—then bring their creations to life outdoors.

We’ll begin in the makerspace, where you’ll have the opportunity to use tools like the laser cutter and other machines to create detailed, custom pieces for your fairy builds. You’ll learn how to safely and creatively translate simple designs into tiny furniture, doors, and decorative elements using a mix of digital fabrication and hand-building techniques.

Once your pieces are complete, we’ll head out together on a guided walk to a nearby park. There, we’ll use natural materials like sticks, leaves, bark, and stones to construct whimsical fairy houses nestled into trees and hidden throughout the landscape—combining your crafted elements with the beauty of the outdoors.

This workshop blends technology, craft, and nature—inviting participants to explore both the makerspace and the environment in a playful, imaginative way.

🌿 What to expect:

• Learn to use the laser cutter and makerspace tools to create miniature designs
• Build fairy furniture, doors, and decorative elements
• Take a guided walk to a local park
