The museum has been closed for years. The halls are empty, the floors are stained, and the paintings have been left to decay on the walls. But somehow… it doesn’t feel entirely abandoned.
Join Bellbone Hollow for a night of miniature making as we create our own Abandoned Museum Shadowbox Art Piece; Forgotten galleries filled with eerie artwork, strange statues, aging walls, and whatever unsettling history you decide your museum holds.
Each participant will receive an 11”x14” deep-set shadowbox to transform into their own miniature museum. Choose from an assortment of textured papers to create aged wallpaper and flooring, including a stained wood-plank option for that properly neglected look. Then begin filling your gallery with miniature ornate frames along with a collection of statues and architectural details to make your museum completely unique.
And, of course, every museum needs its collection.
There will be a large assortment of miniature haunted, vintage, Victorian, Gothic, curiosity-inspired, landscape, portraits, and other museum-style artwork available to choose from. But you’re also encouraged to make your museum personal!
Feel free to bring photographs or artwork from home (1" × 1" and 2" × 2" work especially well) Turn your friends, family, pets, favorite places, or even yourself into part of the permanent collection.
Didn't print anything ahead of time? Bring the images on your phone. A mini photo printer will be available during class so you can print up to 6 small photographs directly from your device and add them to your gallery.
Make yours an abandoned Victorian portrait museum.
A forgotten collection of curiosities.
A gallery devoted entirely to your pets.
A crumbling art museum where something has clearly gone terribly wrong.
Or mix everything together into one wonderfully strange collection!
No previous miniature making or crafting experience required. This is a beginner friendly, highly customizable workshop with plenty of materials and inspiration available.
