Step into a world of witchcraft, creativity and miniature making with this hands-on workshop exploring the art of creating spell jars, designing decorative pedestals and painting miniature figures.
Participants will begin by creating their own spell jar, using a selection of materials, colours and decorative elements to develop a unique magical object. The activity provides an opportunity to explore symbolism, colour and personal creativity, with participants able to give their spell jar its own theme or purpose.
Alongside the spell jar, participants will create and decorate a small pedestal or display stand to present their finished creation. These can be designed to complement the theme of the jar, with participants encouraged to experiment with shapes, textures, patterns and decorative details to create a miniature display piece.
The workshop will also introduce participants to miniature figure painting, providing the opportunity to paint a small fantasy-inspired figure. Participants can experiment with different painting techniques, colours and details while learning how to bring a miniature character to life. The activity is suitable for those who have never painted miniatures before, as well as those who already enjoy miniature painting and want to try a more creative, relaxed approach.
