Event Description

Unleash your creativity, one tiny creature at a time.

Join us at The Idea Forge Creators Space for Mini Animal Figure Painting: Bring Tiny Critters to Life, a cozy, hands-on workshop where you’ll transform unpainted mini animal figures into colorful, expressive works of art. Whether you’re going for realistic fur, whimsical colors, or a full-on fantasy creature, this session is all about making miniature magic.

Perfect for crafters, painters, gamers, and animal lovers, this workshop is open to all skill levels—including complete beginners. We’ll guide you through painting techniques like color blending, shading, highlighting, and fine details using acrylic paints and tiny brushes. No prior experience? No problem. We’ll walk you through every step with patience and encouragement.

Choose from a wide variety of animal minis and bring your vision to life. This is also a great entry point for those interested in tabletop gaming, knick-knacks, or handmade gifts.

🎨 What to expect:

  • Access to paints, brushes, and a selection of miniature animal figures

  • Tips and techniques for painting small surfaces with personality

  • A welcoming space to explore your creativity

  • At least one finished mini figure to take home and show off

All materials are provided. Just bring your imagination and a willingness to try something new.
Suggested donation: $5.00.
