Workshop Project – Old Style Kitchen Workshop No. 2 @ £70.00
Why not join me for a fun three-hour workshop in the privacy of my Thame (Oxfordshire) home, and learn how to make these old style pieces of kitchen furniture and accessories, convincing enough to use in your old dolls house kitchen or old miniature room setting. You will need to choose prior to the workshop on whether you would like to create in 1/12th scale or the smaller 1/16th scale. Both scales are shown in these photos.
You will learn how to use cardboard, card and even some recycled materials to make these kitchen items, as well as painting techniques using acrylic paint. This workshop has been designed to complement the Old Style Kitchen Workshop No. 1, so why not come and do both, and spend a whole day here? This project is so versatile, that the furniture and accessories can be finished in colours of your choice, and dimensions adapted to suit your old dolls house if required.
Whether you are an experienced crafter/miniaturist or absolute beginner, simply reach your own creative potential and work at your own pace, learning new techniques in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Previous attendees have commented that they prefer the small private class, as they find it less intimidating and feel more confident than if they were in a larger group. Hence, this is being offered as a “one to one” class at a mutually convenient time ( I can be flexible). Also, if there is a group of you, this class is suitable for up to three people maximum. Cost is £70 per person. Please email, ring or text if you are interested.
This workshop project consists of the following:
Dresser With Image Of Tiled Backing – Scaled down replica of my old German toy dresser from early 1900s.
Kitchen Sink – Old fashioned sink with one tap, inspired in style by a British made old tin dolls house sink from the 1920s.
Hanging Rack – Replica of scaled down antique German toy version, with top shelf.
Storage Tins & Rack – Decorative wall rack with three tins, very much in the antique German “Marklin” style.
Storage Tins – Basic storage tins finished in cream and green finish. Choice of other colours available to suit. Once concept to make these tins has been learnt, you could make larger or smaller tins to fit your miniature kitchen.
Mock Lithographed Style Plates – Card version of scaled down antique German miniature lithographed plates from my own collection. Once concept has been learnt, you could make all kinds of other plates, larger or smaller in your own design.
