Workshop: Buzz Box, a 1:48 Coffee Shop in a "Container"
Wednesday, April 26; 10am-4pm
Inspired by creative uses for recycled shipping containers, Buzz Box is a modern and unconventional miniature project that contains all of the details of a full size coffee shop. Buzz Box has a sliding style barn door and bi-fold windows. The opened container doors create a perfect place for a table and chairs. The interior includes modern flooring and wallpaper with chalkboard menu graphics. If you haven’t worked in 1/4” scale yet don’t worry - this is a relaxed workshop that will provide tips and techniques to give you more confidence to do small scale projects. You’ll be amazed at how much detail can be achieved! Participants will take home materials for future projects. Sugar High Bakery is a companion kit that may be placed on top of Buzz Box. Furnishings for both the coffee shop and bakery will be available for purchase in the sales room. Join Carol and create your own little container coffee shop!

Carol will be teaching the workshop: The Boathouse B&B.

Workshop: The Boathouse B&B
Wednesday, August 16, 2023
We’ll create a romantic B&B by the sea in 1/4” scale! This former boathouse has been converted into a charming bed and breakfast that could fit right into Nantucket Island. Guests of the B&B enjoy the sea breeze that blows through the open Dutch door and the pair of French doors. Inside, the fireplace and 2-story chimney create a focal point in the living room. There is a cozy kitchen to cook the catch of the day, and a sleeping loft. Workshop participants will learn techniques to faux finish the shingle siding to look like weathered wood; create a “weathered” wood dock; and learn a quick way to apply shingles. Wallpaper and flooring are included.
