Crafting Class Results
Last Friday was the presentation night for some of my students. They showed off their creations to the other students and parents. The original goal of the class, at least what I had intended, was to create terrain and other stuff for use in tabletop role playing games. This is what they made.
A 13 year old girl made this playable diorama of the outskirts of Hogwarts, complete with a Ford Anglia ensnared in spider webs made from hot glue. The water features were made by pouring resin over painted depressions that were melted into the board using a small torch. She didn’t get the trees finished, but she did make them herself using sticks and moss.
A 10 year old girl made this playable diorama of Hogwarts castle and surrounding area. The quidditch pitch is made from painted wood crafting supplies. The castle is made from foam board and cardboard rolled into the towers.
A 10 year old boy made this acidic marshland board. He spent quite a bit of time burning depressions into it using the torch, then used green tinted resin to fill in the water features. He made various scatter pieces using clay. It has a grid cut and painted into it for ease of distance measurement.
A 16 year old girl made this moon/hellscape. The picture doesn’t show the quality of the painting job.
This more generic dungeon or rocky land board is closer to what I had intended at the beginning of the session. Created by a 13 year old boy, it can be used in many different scenarios by simply using different scatter terrain pieces.
A 10 year old girl made this playable Egyptian diorama. She crafted the purple worm from clay. The pyramid is removable and has a sarcophagus inside it with a removable cover that exposes the mummy inside. She even made some canopic jars. The ziggurat is also removable, exposing a large pile of gold.
These are some examples of what I can help your kids learn to do. For more information see my courses page.
