Hello everyone , 

How good it is to be writing another newsletter about upcoming events, news and workshops here at Mimmic Gallery and Studio.

I am very excited to announce that my dear friend Donata Bessa has joined the Mimmic Team. Donata is managing all of the administration at Mimmic including the Online shop, front desk and assisting with shop sales. Donata's friendly and welcoming disposition as well as her attention to detail will be a huge asset to the Mimmic team.  

I am also very happy to say that Mimmic will be exhibiting at Hobby-X in Pretoria from the 1-4 of September 2016. The Exhibition will be held at the Heartfelt Arena,1000 Voortrekker road, Pretoria which is just off Eeufees road. In addition I will be hosting a pewter bird workshop at the exhibition. Bookings are available online via the button below

Workshops

Our upcoming Studio workshops will deliver some beautiful projects as always.

If you have purchased a Mimmic Starter kit at one of the hobby exhibitions or have simply been promising yourself to get started on your pewter journey we have two beginner workshops coming up in September and October. In the beginner workshop we complete two projects covering the fundamental techniques in pewter work. I love seeing the expression on new students faces when they see their finished projects. Remember if you already have the starter kit you are most welcome to join us and the price of the kit will be deducted from the course fee. 

Our Face workshop will be held on a weekday at the end of September to accommodate many who cannot make Saturdays. 

This month will also see another Filigree Cut-out workshop. This will be the last Filigree cut-out workshop where we do the cut-out heart on the art journal.If you have been wanting to do this workshop and have been putting it off, complete the booking form without delay as this class fills up quickly.

Our new stencil workshop was well attended and enjoyed. There are two dates available for this easy but rewarding workshop. 

With many showing an interest in the copper patina process we will be doing the technique packed, Key Techniques Workshop again. As the name describes this workshop covers all the various techniques in the pewter process including low relief, high relief, engraving, raising with cardboard, using textures, stencils and how to achieve brilliant results with copper patina. 

If you have some pewter projects you've been wanting to finish or if you need help with a particular project, the Exploring Pewter workshop is a general workshop where you can work on your project with guidance in a relaxing environment with other pewterers enjoying what we love to do best.
