New: D. Thomas MiniVersity!
D. Thomas Miniatures is excited to launch its new D. Thomas MiniVersity Program featuring livestream and pre-recorded instructional "courses" about...miniatures!
D. Thomas MiniVersity is now open for study and includes lectures, demonstrations, virtual field trips, independent study activities, class projects, classes on mini making, and more. Courses are facilitated by MiniProfessors and experts in each course field of study and students gain credits from class attendance with a certificate of completion at the end of the year!
D. Thomas MiniVersity is for hobbyists, makers, artists, collectors and all around miniatures enthusiasts to help mini students to learn and grow as members of the miniatures community. There is something to learn for students at all stages of their mini journey!
D. Thomas MiniVersity courses are mostly free with a cost at times, especially for artist-led miniature making classes which will include instructor and material fees.
The first D. Thomas MiniVersity course: "How to Spot a Really Great Miniature 101" livestream, held in February of this year, students learned what makes a truly terrific miniature. Participants were taught what materials to look out for, some of the techniques and skills required to make a good miniature and how to spot the difference between a commercially manufactured miniature and a truly one of a kind artisan piece. If you missed the class, no worries, it will be repeated again in the fall!
The next D. Thomas MiniVersity course: "Top Tools for Miniaturists 101" led by Ann Pennypacker, from AMiniThing.com is scheduled for Sunday, March 24 2024 at 4pm ET. Register here to join this free livestream:
