Tom Bishop Chicago International 2025 – Miniature Workshop n.15

Here is the first one of the two workshop I will run in Chicago 2025: a 1:12 scale set for a sweet breakfast.
The focus will be mainly on polymer clay techniques.

A sweet Start by Manuela P. Michieli

Useful information and polymer clay techniques will be teached throughout the workshop so that students will learn the basics and beyond of polymer clay texturing, modeling, shading, media mixing and finishing touches by creating both pottery (teapot, mug and small coffee cup) and pastries.
Everything needed (materials, tools and accessories) to create what you see in the picture is included into the kit that will be given each student.
Of course if a student wish, is free to bring his/her own basic set of tools (scissors, pointed tweezers, xacto knife, small paintbrush).
Fimo® polymer clay will be used in this workshop but what you will learn can be applied to any other polymerclay brand.

Don’t be afraid if you are a beginner because I will guide you step by step in making all this items so newbies are welcome!

As I’m used to do in my workshops the subject is just the mean to teach students tips and tricks that I gathered in nearly 40 years of handmade miniature making. Above all I love to teach techniques so these workshops are not just a simple kit assembling: students will create almost everything from scratch.

Workshop will be run on TUESDAY, APRIL 22 – 2025 from 1.00 pm to 9.00 pm in Chicago – Marriot Hotel O’Hare – Tom bishop’s Chicago International workshops week .
