Pondside miniature model-making: Patio furniture with Amelia Fagence

As part of Objectspace’s pondside event programme, join artist, designer, and maker Amelia Fagence for a hands-on workshop exploring the art of miniature wooden model making.

In this session, you’ll be guided through the process of turning your dream outdoor furniture design into a small-scale model using balsa wood.

Together, we’ll:

• Learn the fundamentals of model making
• Explore how to bring ideas from 2D sketches to 3D forms
• Craft a miniature version of your ideal piece of patio furniture
• Experience what it’s like to step into the shoes of a model maker for the evening

Please bring along a sketch or photo of a piece you’d like to bring to life.

All materials are provided, but feel free to bring any favourite tools or supplies you'd like to work with.
