A couple of years ago Celia Thomas and I closed the doors on our final workshop after a number of very happy and successful years.....finally I opted for a 'graceful' retirement. But I'm delighted to be able to tell you all that under her own KT Miniatures banner she's going it alone and has just announced her first workshop. Fantastic news!
As many of you know, as well as being an immensely talented maker of items that have that much loved vintage look, she is also a highly respected expert in vintage and antique dollshouses and miniatures and very experienced in the restoration of both. It is this very popular vintage emphasis that will be the unique focus of her workshops and I'm sure will have wide appeal as she shares her knowledge and tricks of the trade using very ordinary and readily available materials.
Numbers at each workshop will be limited so if you might be interested don't delay as I know bookings are already being made. It's a great venue, and I know it will be a friendly and productive day, working at your own pace whether you are a novice or more experienced.
THE EARLY 1900s GERMAN STYLE KITCHEN WORKSHOP
Celia is offering two options of workshop kits...
Option 1 : Early 1900s German Style Kitchen Workshop - Main Room Box With Furniture & Accessories Kit @ £105.00
Are you an antique and vintage dolls house collector who has been wanting an antique German kitchen but unable to find one at an affordable price? Well, at this workshop for just a fraction of the cost of a genuine antique one, you can make your own. Or are you a miniaturist seeking a workshop where you can create a miniature room setting that is just that little bit different? If so, then this first workshop option that contains the kitchen room box plus the furniture & accessories kit, may be perfect for you.
Option 2: Early 1900s German Style Kitchen Workshop - Furniture & Accessories Kit Only (No Main Room Box) @ £89.00
Are you an antique and vintage dolls house collector with an empty dolls house kitchen that needs furnishing? Or are you are a miniaturist who has run out of room for any more large projects and would prefer to just make the furniture and accessories for your own display or project. If the answer is yes, then this second workshop option may be ideal for you.
There are two dates, either Saturday April 21st or Saturday May 19th and the workshop is being held in the Conference Room at Bicester Avenue Garden Centre just off junction 9 of the M40.
If you hop over to her blog - ktminiatures.blogspot.co.uk you'll see lots more details and pictures too.
It's so exciting to watching a project develop from beginning to end.....think I'll have to pop along and hand out the paint and glue just so that I can see....
Thanks for looking
Robin
