The Mini Makers: Print, Paint, and Play Workshop

Session One: 3D Printing Your Minis

Wed, Feb 12th - Session One: 3D Printing Your Minis

In this first session, you’ll embark on the journey of creating your own tabletop miniatures. Choose from a curated selection of high-quality, reliable printable models or, if you're feeling adventurous, bring your own design (just make sure it’s ready for print with your STL file on hand, as you’ll be responsible for ensuring its printability within the class time constraints).

You’ll learn the basics of setting up your design, slicing it, and uploading it to our 3D printers. Don’t worry—we'll be on hand to guide you through the process and troubleshoot any issues that arise. Once your miniatures are printed, we’ll celebrate your success together! If time permits, we’ll also help you clean up your prints by removing brims, supports, and smoothing out any scarring.

Important Note: Some prints may take longer than the class duration. In those cases, our staff will store your miniatures safely and ensure they’re ready for Session Two.

Session Two: Painting & Finishing Touches

Wed, Feb 26th - Session Two: Painting & Finishing Touches

Session Two is all about decoration, finishing touches, and sharing your favorite D&D encounters, hilarious origin stories, and the wildest adventures your OCs have been on.

In this second session, we’ll return to your printed minis to give them the love they deserve. First, we’ll clean up any prints that were stored, removing any leftover brims, supports, and smoothing out any imperfections. Then, it’s time for the fun part—painting! We’ll provide paint stations, magnifying glasses, brushes, and plenty of guidance to help you transform your minis into works of art. Whether you're new to painting or an experienced pro, we’ll be there to offer advice and encouragement.

Come for the miniatures, stay for the "party"! Whether you're a seasoned tabletop gamer or a curious beginner, this workshop is for you!
