At Bicester Avenue Garden Centre
10.30am - 4.30pm
With just a limited amount of spaces left available for our September
workshop and just three weeks to go before booking will be closing, do
take a look at the following pics and let us know asap. if we can tempt you into joining us for a wonderful creative day! This little project has been designed to stand alone or sit alongside your old dolls house.
Maybe you are a vintage dolls house collector, never having ventured or even considered the creative side of the miniature hobby before....how fantastic this could look alongside an old dolls house! Our workshops are relaxed, informal, fun and friendly, you simply work at your own pace with our guidance.
With this project, we
shall be making a unique nostalgic herb garden, complete with old
pavers, Victorian style rope edging, quarry tiles, old bricks plus umpteen
variations of our own cottage garden herbs made from a variety of
materials....some which may surprise you!
Amongst some of the many herbs included are comfrey, lungwort,
different thymes,
chives, parsley, lavender and even a bay tree in a wonderful decorative
planter! Plus we have included other plants too such as a climbing rose
on tripod and even some chard...and each attendee will be given a hand
blown glass cloche made especially for us by UK artisan - Ray Storey.
This
particular project is quite unique and potentially quite versatile, so
you will be able to adapt the layout to suit your own needs. We
will give you more than enough materials in your kit for you to
experiment, plus the know how and further ideas to inspire you to push
your creative talents as far as you want. Even if you have been to our
workshops before, we will be using some very different techniques and
innovative ideas to inspire as always.
Then of course there is the rickety old garden gate complete with rusty old bolt, right at the far end, set into the low stone wall.
For this particular project, we would recommend the 1/12th scale as the
herb leaves really are weeny and fiddly but if you are experienced and
up for a challenge then you may like to have a go with the 1/24th scale.
Those of you who came to the Spring Workshop, will recognise the stone
wall....but don't worry, this is much smaller and far less time
consuming to make compared to that one...in fact, if you really
wanted, you could make the little wall at home, therefore leaving
you to concentrate on the planting and landscaping at the actual
workshop instead.
If after reading this, you may have been tempted, please get in touch with me here at KT Miniatures or Robin my workshop colleague asap, in order to reserve a space. We would love to hear from you and please do not hesitate to ask questions if you need more information.

Hello Celia,
I'll say it again, I envy all who can participate in your wonderful class.
Big hug,
Giac
Giac has expressed my sentiments exactly. It would be wonderful to be able to do one of your workshops. The detail is just amazing.
Awww....thanks for your kind comments Giac and 12Create. Is a shame that you all live so far away but isn't the power of the internet so fantastic in so much that all three of us live on three different continents and yet we can communicate and share our love of miniatures and related topics so easily and readily! Celia
