Tom Bishop Chicago International 2025 – Miniature Workshop n.62

Here is the second one of the two workshop I will run in Chicago 2025: a 1:12 scale fresh italian pasta preparation table
The focus will be mainly on polymer clay techniques.

Fresh pasta preparation table – by Manuela P. Michieli

Students will create from scratch the most part of what you see in the workshop sample.
One of the few exceptions ready made will be a kitchen tool made by IGMA Artisan Silvia Cucchi… and we will use it too!
Useful information about polymer clay will be given beside the teaching of safe mixing polymerclay with other creative media. Polymer clay color mixing will be also explained to get the most realistic colors for your miniature food.
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.

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 24 – 2025 from 1.00 pm to 9.00 pm in Chicago – Marriot Hotel O’Hare – Tom bishop’s Chicago International workshops week .
