Back to Basics Workshops @ Exhibition of Miniatures and Tabletop Scenery Agram 2026

During our Exhibition of Miniatures and Tabletop Scenery Agram 2026, every weekday from 5:00 PM to 6:00 PM, we will also organize Back to Basics miniature painting workshops for the youngest (8+).

FREE ENTRY!

The workshops (lasting approx. 1 hour) are suitable for the youngest users because they only use basic techniques, tools and materials and provide an easier approach to miniaturism and model making by focusing on the fun process of making, as opposed to the usual insistence on waiting for the final result, which most often brings stress to younger participants.

In each session, four participants will be able to color and assemble their own figure (which they then take home).
