How are the classes structured?

All workshops: 1.5-3 hours max ideally. 

-15 minute introduction 

-85 minute  Build time

-15 minutes dry/group discussion 

-15 minute craft store and clean up

 

 The series consists of THREE builds, each progressing In difficulty. 

 

The introduction workshop is designed to captivate the imagination around the art of laying miniature bricks using mortar and miniature masonry tools to build a simple wall structure. The attendants also have the option to freely build whatever comes to their mind with the allotted amount of bricks and materials provided.

 

This workshop is a great opportunity for attendees to collaborate with friends and family to create something truly unique and creative. This session is ideal for most ages and only requires a steady hand and an open mind.

 

All tools will be provided and the structures take 30-40 minutes to build and roughly 5-10 minutes to clean up. Then when cleaned it will take 10-15 minutes to harden. Then structures are recommended to sit overnight to let completely cure, then the structure becomes extremely hard.

 

All guests will be able to leave with the structures on the same day as they are built. And as long as caution and care are being used while transporting the build home, the structures will not fall apart. 

 

 

The minimum number of guests to attend will be 5 with the maximum being 20. Parents are encouraged to bring all of their all-star future builders, and neighbors are encouraged to bring friends and or family members to attend.

 

We ask that all attendees register threw our Eventbrite webpage to reserve their spot in the workshop. If the minimum of 5 attendees are not registered 4 hours before the event we promise to refund any money paid and or give you credit to the next class if you have paid for a spot to attend. (1.5 hours) (Priced $10-$20)

​

The second workshop consists of building a mini plant garden area that can nurture real living plants. These are also known by zen plants. (2 Hours) (Price between $30-$60)

 

The third build will be a miniature Bar-B-Que grill that can cook food on a smaller level. (2 hours)

(Price between $40-$75)

Custom workshops will be available throughout the year.

And classes are subject to change without notice.

​

How much will it cost?

The entry fee will vary per event and range from 10$ per person to 75$ per person.

The introduction classes will range from 10$-25$ depending on the arrangement.

Private event booking is available if you would like to have the event free to attend to your specific guest on a specific date.

 

Can the guest leave with the build?

Yes! The mortar takes about 10 minutes to harden. Then it takes about 20-30 minutes before it’s moveable from a temporary structure. Then it takes about 18-24 hours to fully cure. It is recommended to not apply pressure to the structure for the the first 24 hours. The structure is paintable after 24 hours.

 

Where will the event take place?

We require a space that can accommodate 20 -30 people. Usually a community room or common space. We have also hosted events in bars, clubs, libraries and even private residences.

 

Why miniature bricks?

The idea came from two originations in the mind of the CEO. First the idea came from my passion for Legos. As a youth, I found a deep fulfillment of building my own house and making it home. Well for my Lego men. :) So as an adult who never gave up on his youth pursued a life in the real estate career field. But deep down I still have a passion for building. But most importantly I want to give back to the world the feeling that I had when I was a youth and imagined, what it would be like to have a world of my own that I created with my own two hands. 

 

The second part comes from the international community of miniature hobby builders that don't seem to get a lot of recognition in the United States. While the culture may emphasize miniature with the Doll world, It is evolving fast to the minds of artists, pet lovers, creatives, and even professional fields such as education, construction, Video, and film.

 

With the creation of this business, I tend to intertwine the passions for building to create art, with the joy of infinite creative possibilities and community togetherness. 

 

What is so special about the workshop?

 

These workshops have a unique spin compared to the counterparts of Arts & Crafts, Paint & Sip, Pottery Wheel, Candle Making, etc. While these are all great things to do with family and friends, Mini Build Workshops are a totally new way of engaging with friends and the community.

 

The workshop is an immersive experience that aims to help participants unleash their creativity and express themselves through miniature artwork. You may have seen things similar online, on social media, or on the news. I have created handmade bricks to bring this trendy new hobby to South Florida's private gated communities.

 

This a unique opportunity to be a part of an experience that will soon take the world stage as a prevailing and ultimately a powerfully practical hobby that any and everyone should try at least once! 

 

 

What kind of guests should attend?

This workshop is meant for everyone, including seasoned artists who have been honing their craft for years, budding artists who are just starting their journey, art enthusiasts who have a deep appreciation for art but may not create it themselves, and curious explorers who are open to new experiences. All participants will have a great opportunity to learn new techniques, share their knowledge and experience, and gain a fresh perspective. So, don't miss out on this amazing opportunity to explore your creativity and meet new people.This session is ideal for most ages and only requires a steady hand and an open mind.

 

 

 

Can I bring my children?

We love children. However due to the materials that will be used, we ask that parents designate someone to watch over all children not attending the event. Parents who have children who are deemed fit to build are eligible to reserve a spot at the event. This session is ideal for most ages and only requires a steady hand and an open mind. 7+ preferred, but parents may elect to work with their child. This may or may not count as two tickets. TBD on that. :)

​

Do couples count as one?

Couples count as one ticket in the case of couples night. In all other events, it will be announced in the details when purchasing a ticket.

 

Will food be served at the event?

Food will be served on a TBA basis. Some venues provide food and drinks. Some establishments allow for outside drinks. This will be announced in the event details.

 

Can I hire Mini Build Workshops for private parties?

Yes. We love private parties, birthdays, and weddings. If you want a private on a boat, we will be delighted to come! :)

 

 

Why were the workshops created?

As the owner, I created the Mini Build Workshop because I believe in the transformative power of art. I wanted to create a space where individuals could explore their creativity, learn new skills, and express themselves freely. The workshop is designed to be a nurturing and inclusive environment, welcoming people of all skill levels and backgrounds. It's not just about creating miniature art, but also about fostering a sense of community and connection among participants.

 

 

What is the future of Mini Build Workshops?

In the future, I have plans on creating a creative workspace and museum designed to foster collaboration among collective minds while also displaying work from the different levels of miniature builders in a grand display of miniature matrimony.

 

The workspace will be designed to encourage open communication and collaboration. It will feature open spaces for group discussions and training sessions, as well as private areas for focused, individual work. The design will be flexible, allowing for the space to be reconfigured as needed to suit different projects and teams.

 

In addition to the physical layout, I plan to incorporate technology that facilitates collaboration. This includes recording studios for content creation and project documentation, as well as high-speed internet for seamless video conferencing and video streaming. 

 

Moreover, I believe that a creative workspace should also foster a positive and inclusive culture. To achieve this, I plan to implement regular team-building activities and workshops that promote creativity and innovation in the minds of the youth.

 

I am excited about these plans and I believe that this creative workspace will greatly enhance our ability to collaborate and generate innovative ideas.

 

Why gated communities?

Gated communities often provide a sense of bond between people due to their unique structure and shared amenities. The residents of these communities usually share common interests and values, which fosters a sense of unity and camaraderie. Additionally, the shared responsibility of maintaining the community's standards and facilities further strengthens this bond. The security and exclusivity of a gated community also contribute to a sense of collective identity and belonging among residents.

 

This event is designed to be a fantastic opportunity for all residents. It's not just a workshop, it's a chance to connect with your neighbors, learn something new, and engage in a fun, interactive experience right within the comfort of your community. Moreover, this workshop is a wonderful platform for community building.

 

It's a chance to meet your neighbors, share experiences, and strengthen the bond within the community. It's not just about learning, it's about growing together as a community. So, if you're looking for an engaging, informative, and fun event right at your doorstep, this workshop is for you! I encourage all to participate and make the most of this opportunity.

 

 

What else can I build besides a wall in the introduction class?

I have seen thrones, hearts, castles, boxes, ancient Egyptian megaliths, pyramids, unique corners, and some things that we will just call, Art! :)

 

All tools will be provided.

 

Additional materials may or may not be available for purchase after the event.
