 Paris Park Workshop
by Barbara Meyer (Mini Gems)
Saturday, October 16, 1:00 - 4:00 p.m.
 
This class is fun!  You will learn how to weather, landscape (making all the flowers and shrubs), and assemble the quarter inch scale scene.  Barbara Meyer will demonstrate how she made the original benches, pedestals, flower pots, brick trim, and wall fountain. Therefore the class will be fun, informative, and each student will walk away with their finished park scene AND know how everything was made from scratch.  This class is for beginners and advanced students.
 
Barbara Meyer has made miniatures for 35 years.  She is a member of NAME (National Association of Miniature Ethusiasts), and an IGMA artisan (International Guild of Miniature Artisans).  Check out her web page.
