About the Doll/House Project & the Tiny Little Collective

The Doll/House Project (@dollhousediorama) is a series of public workshops, a gallery show, and a zine looking at dollhouses, dioramas, and miniature things in general. The idea started when Gina Renzi (ginamrenzi) began posting photos of her dollhouse projects during the pandemic. Carolyn Chernoff (@ccriot) hatched a plan to share the joy of making tiny things with everyone in Philly. She and Gina were joined by Alison Miner (@tubinitron), who was planning to resurrect the Philly punk house Diorama-Rama of some decades past. Together at the Tiny Little Collective, we try to get people doing and making things together, because doing and making things with other people is sweet.
