Queensland Architecture in Miniature

Discover the charm of Queenslander-style residences in this 3-part workshop, where you'll create your very own miniature book nook inspired by the State Library’s Built Heritage collection. 

Bring these iconic designs to life using digital fabrication techniques like laser cutting and engraving. You’ll learn how to create and decorate your nook to suit your personal style, and we’ll guide you in adding miniature details like furniture.  

By the end of the workshop, you'll have your own book nook inspired by Queensland architecture, along with new skills in creating vectors using Inkscape and an induction into using the laser cutters at The Edge. 

Please note: You must be able to attend all 3 Saturday sessions, as each one builds on the previous. No special skills are required, just intermediate computer knowledge. Bring your creativity, ideas, and enthusiasm to each fortnightly workshop!
