We had great fun making furniture & accessories based on an “Old Style Kitchen” theme, at last Saturday’s workshops in Thame. Thank you to everyone who came – I look forward to seeing photos of your completed creations. Also sending our good wishes to Lindsey, who sadly went down with Covid two days before so not able to come. I do hope you are feeling better Lindsey!
MORNING WORKSHOP
 |
| Morning Workshop – Old Style Kitchen Project |
Everyone had a choice to make their items in either 1/12th or 1/16th scales.
 |
| Replica Ranges In Both Scales Based On Old German Style Toy Range. |
The ranges were made from card and mountboard, there was a choice of various colours with which to paint them.
 |
| Utensil Racks & Jugs Made Out Of Card & Packaging. |
The items in this workshop project were mostly made from grey cardboard, mountboard, card, plus some recycled materials.
Effective vintage style towels for the racks were made from a strip of old cotton fabric that had been edged with red or blue pen stripes.

As everyone was so engrossed in the actual construction of the kitchen items and thrilled with what they were making, it was jointly decided to wait until the last hour of the afternoon and paint the items made in both workshops all in one go.

The afternoon workshop items were also offered in either 1/12th or 1/16th scales.

I had intended to take photos of all our projects as they
progressed throughout the day, but time simply flew and I totally forgot to
take any, until almost at the end of the day. I ended up only taking four, and out of those, only these two came out…oops, sorry ladies!
News of KT Miniatures’ next workshop which I am aiming to run
on a Saturday in October, will be coming shortly. Places are limited to only 6
people, so if you would like to come, please don’t hesitate to get in touch and
put your name on the “Workshop Reserve List”.
