When it became too stressful we had to go outside for a cheese break...
Then it started coming together, and things were great!
I was watching all the time to make sure they do it right.
They tell me it was the first workshop ever where the teacher brought a stove...
Hmmm, we all know miniaturists are a bit strange!
JSME offers workshops on the first and third Saturday of every month at the Roosevelt Park recreation centre in Johannesburg. They also send out a bimonthly newsletter, and organize the largest miniatures festival in the southern hemisphere. If you are fascinated by small things, and would like to learn to make items for your own dolls house, head over to their website and join the club!
Looks like a good time! Yes, we miniaturists tend to be a bit eccentric, I'd have to agree with you there. :-) xo Jennifer
ReplyDeleteI think miniaturists are people who live a much richer life than some. What I have noticed about them is their ability to really observe and notice things around them and to see the potential for ordinary things to be converted to something fantastic. Fantasy keeps our minds young!
