Megan the miniaturist loves creating enchanted scenes and objects from recycled materials. Join her for a dedicated miniature bookshelf workshop where you will learn to construct a small bookshelf from a range of recycled materials and adding the smallest details that make it come to life. It will look amazing on your bedside table, bench top, windowsill or better yet, amongst your real-sized books!

Miniatures are a great way to extend the life of your materials and a wonderful multi-skilled medium for expression and a way to see the world! Megan has been creating mini scenes, furniture, for many years and is excited to share some skills with budding mini-makers. No experience necessary.
