Is there any preparation?

There is a little preparation to be done prior to the workshop. Closer to the date of the class you will receive an email containing some templates. Please follow the basic instructions and have the everything ready before participating in the session.

What should I wear?

Wear comfortable clothing that you do not mind getting slightly messy. Avoid wearing: Baggy clothing (especially sleeves) and Loose jewellery.

What about natural pigments?
Due to the long preparation, difficult accessibility and toxicity of some natural pigments, we will be using easily accessible, ready-made alternatives for this workshop. Traditional miniatures are completed using paints derived from minerals, earths and insects. You will be able to achieve a similar result and finish using the recommended colours in the materials list.
