Classes & Special Events The Guild Show 2017 Classes & Special Events Tuesday, September 19 to Sunday, September 24, 2017 Hartford/Windsor Marriott Airport Windsor, CT The Guild Show 2017 The International Guild of Miniature Artisans invites you to join us at the 2017 Guild Show, September 19–24, at the new location, the Hartford/Windsor Marriott Airport, Windsor, CT. This new location offers easy access via all modes of transportation, including a free shuttle between the airport and hotel. There are a wide variety of cultural attractions in the area, from theater to museums, historic homes and natural attractions. The show location is eminently suitable for a vacation with all age groups and interest levels. The Guild is known around the world for its mission of promoting miniatures as an art form, and for the educa- tional programs it sponsors in support of that mission. At the Guild Show, you will be able to take part in classes, join a tour of a historic home, or attend a theater production, as well as many other options. The show itself will feature an outstanding selection of dealers from around the world, exhibits, silent and live auctions, a unique shopping area for younger miniaturists and free crafting for families on Sunday afternoon. Throughout the week, participants will enjoy the company of their fellow miniaturists in a warm and inclusive environment. Following are the classes offered by exceptional instructors. Because of occasional poor lighting in hotel class rooms, students are urged to include lighting and magnification in their tool kits. - 1 - Classes TUESDAY — FRIDAY 4-DAY CLASS | SEPTEMBER 19–22 ❖ Geppetto Instructor: Jeanne Rullie, IGMA Artisan 8:00am – 5:30pm In this class, students will create a 1/12 scale Geppetto doll in polymer clay, perhaps for their toy shop. Starting with the instructor’s basic mold for the head and torso, students will learn sculpting techniques to add expres- sion and character. Next the hands will be free sculpted complete with fingernails, veins and knuckles. Legs and feet will then be shaped and shoes made from colored polymer clays will be applied. All parts will be wired for assembly and painted with Genesis paints. Geppetto will be costumed with a provided pattern and fabric. Facial hair will be applied to complete the doll. Time will not allow for Pinocchio to be made but instructions will be provided for students to create one on their own. It is likely that the project will be completed in class. The instructor will bring all necessary supplies. Students should bring a chair or stool for Geppetto and any preferred tools. Special sculpting tools will be available for students to use with the option of buying. Skill Level: Beginner Class Limit: 10 Class Fee: $575.00 for Guild members/$585.00 for non-members Last date to register for this class: September 10 - 2 - TUESDAY – THURSDAY 3-DAY CLASS | SEPTEMBER 19–21 ❖ The UFO (Un-Finished Objects) Rescue Workshop Instructor: Teresa Layman, IGMA Fellow 9:00am – 6:00pm For all those who have unfinished struc- tures, any topic from building techniques and lighting to decorating ideas, this instructor is offering her knowledge and design skills to help students complete those projects that have been neglected, due to time restraints or those that just have the maker stumped. Each registrant may bring one project to work on for 1, 2, or 3 days. The instruc- tor will accept only a limited number of participants so that each project will be given the proper attention. After regis- tering, the instructor will contact each student to discuss their particular project and the needed tools and materials. The greatest satisfaction is finishing a project that deserves to be completed and appreciated. You will truly be glad you did! Skill Level: All levels Class Limit: 6 per day Class Fee: $115.00 per day for Guild members, $125.00 per day for non-members Last date to register for this class: August 1 - 3 - WEDNESDAY – FRIDAY 3-DAY CLASS | SEPTEMBER 20–22 ❖ Flight of Fancy Instructor: Michael Yurkovic, IGMA Artisan 9:00am – 6:00pm The subject of this class is a 1/2 inch scale Victorian horse and carriage, but with a unique Steam Punk twist. The elegant carriage takes its place behind the horse, ready for the next passengers to embark on an evening ride in comfort and style. The viewer will notice that the carriage has no wheels, instead it is kept aloft by an ornate hot air balloon! What a way to travel! The class will depict the horse, carriage, and hot air balloon in 1/2 inch scale, with an overall size of 10 1/2” long by 11 1/2” tall and approximately 8” deep. The piece will sit on a wooden base with cobblestone texture. The carriage and balloon will be supported by a metal rod hidden in the structure that will give the illusion that the carriage and balloon are actually floating. The balloon itself measures 7 1/2” in diameter, it is constructed of an upper and lower half to be supplied by the in- structor and ready for decoration. The upper and lower halves of the balloon are already 3D printed, and molded, so there will be a set of parts for each student. The carriage will be mainly of wood construction, with metal detail parts. Jamie Carrington is creating a set of three figures to accompany the piece. Each will be available to purchase from him. The figures include a carriage driver and a lovely couple going out for an evening ride. It is recommended that students bring to class basic tools such as X-acto knives, wood glue, and tweezers. A full list will be sent to students prior to the show. Skill Level: Intermediate/Advanced Class Limit: 8 Class Fee: $775.00 for Guild members/$785.00 for non-members Last date to register for this class: August 28 - 4 - WEDNESDAY – THURSDAY 2-DAY CLASSES | SEPTEMBER 19–21 ❖ Kitchen Cabinet Instructor: Bill Studebaker, IGMA Artisan 8:00am – 5:00pm Based on a cabinet in the 1902 Montgom- ery Wards catalog, furniture of this type was common in every kitchen. A sturdy work table with cutting boards, draw- ers and corner bins below, it also boasts closed food storage above. Students will make and fit mortise and tenon joints, drawers, glass paned doors and they will join copper panels to the drawer frames to create the bins. The completed piece will be painted and distressed to reflect years of daily use. Power tools will be used. It is recommended that students bring a craft knife, ruler, jeweler’s saw, pin vise (hand drill). Skill Level: Intermediate Class Limit: 10 Class Fee: $255.00 for Guild members, $265.00 for non-members Last date to register for this class: September 3 ❖ Louis XVI Encoignure/Corner Cabinet Instructor: Geoffrey Wonnacott, IGMA Fellow 9:00am – 5:00pm A beautiful example of Louis XVI furniture, this corner cabinet will be an elegant addition to any miniature setting. From a prepared cutting list of timber, each student will construct the basic cabinet, fitting a central shelf as well as veneer- ing and banding the decorative sides and feet. The full height cabinet door has a false drawer front and an elaborate quarter veneered and banded door panel. - 5 - Students will have the option of adding floral/music marquetry to the panel before hinging. The cabinet will be completed by shaping the marble top and applying the metal mounts. Skill Level: Intermediate/Advanced Class Limit: 12 Class Fee: $330.00 for Guild members, $340.00 for non-members Last date to register for this class: September 20 THURSDAY – FRIDAY 2-DAY CLASS | SEPTEMBER 21–22 ❖ Regency Chess Table Instructor: Elga Koster, IGMA Artisan 9:00AM – 5:00PM This beautiful Regency chess table dates from the 1820-1830’s time period. Students will assemble the chess board from prepared wood strips and frame it with cross banding. The side edges of the table top will be veneered. Students will cut the shaped table sides with a jeweler’s saw and make tenons with a milling machine. Corresponding mortises will be milled into the table top assembly and into the rounded feet supports. The class will focus on the accurate assembly of all the parts and the techniques on the mill- ing machine. Students will also learn how to apply cock beading to the drawer front. The turned feet, stretcher - 6 - and drawer knobs will be provided. Four indigenous South African woods will be used to create this exceptional chess table. It is likely that students will complete the project in class. However, finishing with oil or varnish will be completed at home. Skill Level: All levels Class Limit: 8 Class Fee: $350.00 for Guild members/$360.00 for non-members Last date to register for this class: May 20 WEDNESDAY CLASS | SEPTEMBER 20 ❖ Cardinal Instructor: Beth Freeman-Kane, IGMA Fellow 9:00AM – 5:00PM Students will create a beautiful cardinal bird perched on a birch tree with delicate branches, foliage and ground detail. This project can be created as a stand alone sculpture or in a box frame composition. The bird casting, as well as the landscaping materials will be provided. Acrylic painting techniques will be taught to bring the bird to life. Mixing, blending and shaping will trans- form the raw resin casting before your eyes. A truly fun class! It is likely that this project will be completed in class. Supplies needed: tweezers, scissors, craft knife, and stylus. The instructor recommends that students bring lighting and magnification to class.

    Where Samplers Rule Just 15 minutes from the Airport at the SE CORNER OF DOBSON & GUADALUPE 1837 W. Guadalupe Rd, Suite 109 Mesa, AZ 85202 TELEPHONE THE ATTIC (480)898-1838 2014 July 1 Issue No. 14-14 www.atticneedlework.com TOLL-FREE: 1.888.94.ATTIC July Sampler of the Month “Jesus Wept” from The Scarlet Letter I am thrilled to be able to offer this rare, two-sided miniature sampler as our July Sampler of the Month. Unavailable for a long time, nearly a decade, I believe, Marsha Parker of The Scarlet Letter reluctantly decided to reprint this reproduction. I’ve had it in my personal collection for many years and have always wanted to stitch it, and the best way for that to happen is to make it a Sampler of the Month ... so here it is! Here’s what Marsha writes about this sampler: Circa 1820, originally worked on fine tammy (wool) cloth with silk flosses, these two separate samplers were bound together, back to back, with pink grosgrain ribbon edging. They are quite compact yet comprehensive in scope, with wonderfully varied and detailed motifs including a cat on a cushion, a house, peacocks, butterflies, birds, dogs, and many flowering plants. The Scarlet Letter model was stitched over 1 on 35c similar to the original. However, you should stitch it on whatever is most pleasurable for you. Debra of our Attic staff let the 35-over-one get in the way of adding this sampler to her collection over 10 years ago, and she regretted it ever since.

Guadalupe Rd, Suite 109 Mesa, AZ 85202 TELEPHONE THE ATTIC (480)898-1838 2014 August 1 Issue No. 14-16 www.atticneedlework.com TOLL-FREE: 1.888.94.ATTIC August Sampler of the Month “Elise Schlüter” from Gigi Here’s what Gigi says about this sampler in the chart: This attractive (presumably German) woolwork sampler has been stitched by Elise Schlüter in 1866. Since the original was ruthlessly glued to the cardboard plate, we were not able to inspect the back side of the sampler. Therefore it was charted from the front side, reproducing the sampler in its present aged state. Some colors seem to be faded and altered over the years. Our guess is that the sampler used to be much brighter, with vivid greens and purples. I loved this sampler the moment I saw it! What’s there not to love? It has something for everyone: a beautiful floral border, Adam & Eve, Christ, a squirrel, a peacock, a butterfly, crowns, basket of flowers, etc. I love the fact that the ground fabric is barely visible. It’s a happy sampler, and it looks like Elise had great fun stitching it!

    Blackwork Journey Blog, November 2018 The nights are drawing in and Winter is fast approaching, so what better time to get your needlework out, look at unfinished projects and start new ones, just in time for Christmas! In ‘Tiny Treasures’ Part 2 this month you will find a Christmas Sampler developed from the flower motifs in the project. If you do not want to add the word ‘Noel’ just insert the blackwork blocks which can be found in the pattern or blocks from Parts 1 and 2. Taking threads across open spaces is not a good idea in needlework because they will show through on the front of the work when it is framed. Always complete each motif in turn before moving on to the next one and trim off all loose ends. Christmas Sampler from Part 2 of ‘Tiny Treasures’. This chart can be found in Freebies FR0162 and FR0163. I do not want to use Christmas reds and greens. What other colours could I use to make an elegant Christmas decoration? As an alternative I would suggest using vibrant royal blue and gold metallic or emerald green and gold. Metallic threads are not easy to use and I would recommend Rainbow Gallery Petite Treasure Braid PB01Bright Gold or DMC Diamant which comes on a reel. Always use a short length of metallic thread to reduce fraying and a larger needle than usual to reduce friction. ‘Noel’ worked in DMC 796 Royal blue. 1 Blackwork Journey © Blackwork Journey Blog, November 2018 CH0380 Smyrna Christmas CH0381 Smyrna Cross can be found in ‘Charts’ this month Last month I added a Christmas decoration to ‘Charts’ worked in Smyrna stitch.

All the patterns given, even the most insignificant, were worked afresh for the purpose, and thus, not merely faithful representations, but also lucid and intelligible explanations of the same, are secured.
