Option 2: June 22nd - 25th $740

Please email us with your preferred ‘Option’ (choose only one).

This workshop is so fun and rewarding that it sold out the last eight summers in a row! This will be our 9th Miniature Mouse room box in our continuing series of stackable rooms. And this year, the whole thing lights up! Using the 1"=1' scale we will create a wonderful pizzeria pizza party miniature room box (12” x 9” x 4.5”). This exciting workshop includes mini furniture making, wallpapering, sculpting with Fimo, miniature masonry, and creating tiny festive party decorations. Pure miniature magic!

Ages 8+ and must have working experience with a glue gun and be able to work independently for periods of time. 

 

Fairy Village Summer Nights Workshop

July 13th - 16th $680

If you can dream it, you can do it! Really! This highly requested workshop focuses on REAL building skills: foundation, framing, roofing, and siding of a scale-model structure made from all natural materials. And this year, the whole thing lights up! Each artist will build a structure and then build the accessory pieces to complete their abodes. The building size is loosely based on the 1“=1’ scale. This workshop is a popular offering every summer!

Ages 8+ and must have working experience with a glue gun and be able to work independently for periods of time.

 

Best in Show - A Paper Mache Workshop

July 20th - 23rd $680

This four-day bigger-than-life dog sculpture project will include design, sculpting, paper mache, painting, and accessories! Paper mache is a wonderful way to create a long-lasting sculpture that can flex along with your artist’s imagination. Most kids know that Miss Patrice loves dogs of all shapes and sizes, and this is your artist's chance to create the dog of their dreams (with none of the hard work of owning a real dog)!

Ages 5+  


Summer Workshop Details

The StudioTime Summer workshop schedule is a 4-day retreat, Monday-Thursday from 10am-3:30pm. For lunch, we head out to one of the nearby parks for a picnic and to move our bodies! (note: weather and workload can alter the daily schedule) The day ends with another afternoon studio session. All materials and supplies are included. Please bring a lunch and beverage each day.

Our summer workshops fill quickly and require a non-refundable deposit to enroll. To request a spot and receive deposit information, please contact us at Patrice@AlamedaStudioTime.com.
