Yet Another Variation Of Our 2015 Workshop Project!

It never ceases to amaze us how imaginative people can be with their workshop project, once they leave us with their kits and bits.

Just See What Gillian Smith Did With Her 2015 Workshop Project!

Gillian attended one of our workshops back in 2015, and we were delighted to meet her once again when she visited our stands at Thame Fair. Armed with a packet of photos she was able to show us what she had been up to with her "Little Vintage Toy Shop" workshop project. In fact, as you can see, it is not a toy shop at all but.....

A DRAGONARIUM!

How fantastic and unique is this!!!!!

 

 This just makes us smile.....

A huge "well done" to Gillian for such a wonderful, imaginative and humorous project. Huge thank you to Gillian for allowing us to share her photos on here with you all - we're looking forward to seeing it again when  all those shelves are filled. 

Meanwhile....kits are now complete, instructions are printed and all is ready for our impending June 4th workshop. We are really looking forward to this workshop and meeting everyone again, plus one or two new attendees too.

DATES CONFIRMED AT LAST & BOOKING NOW OPEN FOR OUR LATEST WORKSHOP

Booking has now officially opened for our next workshop! We will be running this workshop twice in the Conference Room at Bicester Avenue Garden Centre (Oxfordshire - just off Jct 9 of M40), so you have a choice of two dates:

Saturday 4th June 2016

or 

Saturday 2nd July 2016.

We currently have spaces for both dates but they are limited, so please get in touch asap if you would like to come. Above you can see a glimpse of the 1/12th scale shop, but very soon we hope to bring you photos of the 1/24th scale version. This shop can be made into whatever you want it to be and is an extremely versatile project. To purchase a real antique version of this would be costly and rare to find, so why not make your own?

More About The 2016 Workshop!

 THE EARLY 1900s LITTLE GERMAN STYLE SHOP

As 2015 year is almost at an end, it is most definitely time for us to turn our attention to next year's workshops. At the moment we are just putting the finishing touches to the 1/12th scale project and as promised we have some more photos for you...

 

 

We have endeavoured to create a discretely aged faded elegant look to this project but it will be entirely up to you how you embellish and decorate. If you have been following us for a while, you will know that normally we don't do 'pretty'...so this is quite a departure from anything we have made before. You can make this into any kind of shop that you wish and decorate accordingly. 

 

This is still "a work in progress" project, although I think we can say that it is a "now nearly finished" project...just the lovely old hanging lamp, deliciously oversized scales in true early 1900s German style plus maybe one or two little boxes, etc to make! Then we have to make it all over again, in 1/24th scale!

 

2016 RESERVE LIST

So...if you would like to be placed on the Reserve List for this next workshop, simply get in touch with either of us by email. CLICK HERE FOR OUR CONTACT DETAILS.  Everyone on the reserve list will be offered a priority place as soon as booking opens at the beginning of January. We are aiming for a Saturday in May/June in the first instance and any subsequent sessions will be later in the year. Immediately the dates have been confirmed with the Bicester venue in January, we will email everyone on the Reserve List with their priority invitation. 

As mentioned before, if everyone already on the reserve list takes up their invitation, we will definitely be having at least two separate sessions. Places will be limited and the cost has yet to be worked out but we anticipate it to be approx. in the region of the 2015 project price. More concise information, including dimensions, exact specifications and price will appear next week on a special promotional page within our workshop website:
