Paper Models
October 26th, 2024
1pm to 4pm

About the Workshop
When I tell people that I've been collecting paper models for almost 25 years, the first thing I'm asked is "What are paper models?"

This workshop will not only enable you to answer that question, but you will also be able to proudly display a paper model that you built yourself.

During the workshop I will give a brief overview of the history of paper models and a short demonstration of technique. Everyone will get two paper models to construct... an Old Knight's Castle from Denmark and Ali Baba Entering the Cave of the 40 Thieves from Spain; both issued in the 1920s.
