KT Miniatures Will Be At Haddenham Antique & Vintage Fair This Sunday April 23rd!


KT Miniatures will here this Sunday....


HADDENHAM ANTIQUE & VINTAGE FAIR

HADDENHAM VILLAGE HALL

BANKS ROAD 

HADDENHAM

BUCKINGHAMSHIRE 

HP17 8EE

Sunday April 23rd

9.00am - 3.30pm

Hot & Cold Refreshments Available

£1.00 entry

Why not come along and meet us at the Haddenham Antique & Vintage Fair this Sunday.

It is the first time that I will have exhibited at this monthly event, which I understand is due to have around 75 stand holders of general antique and vintage dealers. Haddenham is a couple of miles from Thame, and a few miles from Aylesbury. 

Just starting to sort out stock for Sunday's fair. 

In addition to the more special pieces displayed on the stand, I  will be bringing several boxes of old dolls house items on Sunday including Dol-Toi, Barton, etc. They will probably have to sit behind the stand, so do please ask if you want a good old rummage! 

My 6ft stand will be packed with many of my antique and vintage dolls house treasures that are currently not on my website. Plus my old mate Robin Britton (of Coombe Crafts & Nostalgia In Miniature Workshops fame) has agreed to come out of retirement to help me for the day. I hope to have a few other real life size antique & vintage bits and bobs for sale too. 

Please note that I will not have the facility to accept debit or credit cards on the day, so it will have to be cash only. 

 

I will also have the "Old Potting Shed Workshop" prototype on display for visitors to see. Places for this July 8th workshop are filling fast, and at the time of writing this post, I currently have just 3 places left. If you are still pondering on whether to book a place on this workshop, then this would give you a good opportunity to see the little project close up and discuss any queries that you may have. 

I have just been told that I will have a wall stand in the foyer on the left, just before you go into the main hall, so you should find me easily. Hope to see you Sunday!

The Old Potting Shed Workshop

 I am delighted to announce that at last the postponed KT Miniatures' Old Potting Shed Workshop has a new date and new venue!

Old Miniature Potting Shed Workshop @ £145.00

Saturday 8th July 9.30am - 4.30 pm

Thame Barns Centre, Church Road, Thame, Oxfordshire.

OX9 3AJ

Followers of KT Miniatures will know that originally this workshop was due to take place in 2020 at Denman College, but then Covid came along, and then the sad permanent closure of the college. 

However, all is now ready to get going again at a new Oxfordshire venue. So why not come and spend a day with us in the historic surroundings of the small barn within the Thame Barns Centre, and create a uniquely realistic and nostalgic miniature interior scene of a vintage style potting shed in 1/12th scale. 


Flagstone flooring, stone walls, a wooden console table, slightly dilapidated wall panelling and ceiling all add to rustic and realistic effect.


As part of the project, you will be making various little relevant accessories too to help set the scene. 


Except for the console table, most of the items are made simply from cardboard or card, including the wooden panelling, flagstone flooring, stone bricks, aged vintage style flowerpots and rusty old gardening tools. 

Whether you are an experienced crafter/miniaturist or absolute beginner, we want you to reach your own creative potential and have fun along the way in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Due to the complexity of this project you will not complete the project whilst you are here, but you will have a booklet of instructions as part of your kit to take home, so that you complete your project at your leisure. 
BOOKING IS NOW OPEN SO PLEASE GET IN TOUCH ASAP IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO COME - SPACES ARE LIMITED!
