Unlock the mysteries of the Victorian industrial age and turn a mini suitcase into a masterpiece of mechanical art! Join us for an immersive, hands-on workshop where we take a plain suitcase and begin to transform it into a one-of-a-kind steampunk treasure chest. Whether you want to create a prop for cosplay, a unique home storage piece, or a showstopping art piece, this class will teach you the techniques to bring your imaginative, retro-futuristic vision to life.
What You’ll Create:
Participants will learn to design, arrange, and apply layers of “mechanical” elements, including cogs, gears, zippers, keys, and other industrial found items, creating a mini travel bag that screams adventure. Participants will have time to decorate the exterior of the case and be given supplies and instructions to complete the cases at home. Due to the time limitations, unique prepacked kits will be created by Reimagined Creations to assemble at the workshop.
