About this event
Step back in time and immerse yourself in the enchanting world of tunnel books, also known as peep shows or miniature theaters, which captivated imaginations in the 18th century. These intricate works of art, celebrated for their three-dimensional depictions of vibrant scenes, offer a unique window into a bygone era where creativity and craftsmanship took center stage. By peeping through a carefully crafted hole at the front of the accordion-style art, viewers were magically transported into lush jungles, opulent ballrooms, and myriad other mesmerizing worlds. In our comprehensive workshop, our instructors will guide you through the entire creative process, from conceptualizing your own tunnel book scene to bringing it to life with meticulous attention to detail. Whether you are an experienced artist or a curious novice, this workshop is designed to inspire and equip you with the skills needed to create your very own tunnel book masterpiece. This class is open to all skill levels! No prior experience is necessary. All materials will be provided to you.
