Join us for an exciting introduction to the world of painting miniatures! Learn the essentials needed to transform your unpainted figures into tabletop works of art, from getting minis built and primed to the final coat of paint and beyond!
Every class we’ll cover a different method to get your minis ready for the table quickly, easily, and in style!No minis? No paints? No problem!
Paints, brushes and other supplies will be provided for the class, and you’ll even be able to select a miniature to paint and take it home with you once you’re done! You’re also welcome to bring your own minis, paints, and supplies and follow along with the lesson!For experienced painters:
This class is primarily for beginners with little to no experience with painting miniatures. We will be covering the absolute basics of the hobby such as priming miniatures, the different types of miniature paints and how to use them, and other essential skills. While you’re unlikely to pick up anything new, if you’re looking for a relaxed environment to paint, chat, and meet new people interested in mini painting, we’re excited to have you join!Ages 13+, or with accompanying parent or guardian.
