Workshops

[ayari@btinternet.com]

Are there any forthcoming workshops such as the last one at the Premier Inn in Glasgow? I am especially interested in using polymer clay and eventually making character dolls.

I am in the process of organising on-line workshops to be done via individual emails and possibly step by step photos with Tutors who are well known in the miniature world.

Since the British Miniatures Workshop Weekend was cancelled last year due to unforseen circumstances we have been in a quandry as to how to continue with workshops.

Lots of miniaturists can not afford to attend an away workshop due to work or family commitments so having them take place in your own home is the best we can offer.

You would have to be a member of minis4all email group to be able to join in as the information ref the workshops and signing up for them will be done on that list. Email me via the contact button for information about this.

The tutor concerned will take names and payment for the particular workshop project offered, the kits posted out and a date given to sign into the yahoogroup concerned.

I hope to see many of you join in with us.

I have now started the minis4all-workshop group.

I have given a FREE Curtain/Drape workshop on-line, with 7 pages of instructions to print off, along with 28 step by step photos.



This is an introductory workshop to allow invited members to get used to the site and procedure.

Also an upholstered stool.


We have Tutors giving workshops for May, June ( Fully Booked), July, August, September and October. Various projects at various prices, your choice as an minis4all email member to join in or not.

As I mentioned previously, you do have to be a member of minis4all/yahoo email group ( these pages are the home page of the group) to be aware of workshop announcements and to take part.


Please contact me for further information on subscribing.
