Hands-on workshop on building fantasy miniature environments for film, covering landscape, colour, texture and shape with practical effects methods.

Tour Overview

Step into a hands-on creative workshop where imagination is turned into something you can actually build. The Intro to Worldbuilding workshop focuses on the practical side of creating a fantasy setting, from thinking through landscape, colour, texture and shape to assembling a miniature environment that feels believable on screen.

Guided by the crew, you will learn the basic tricks of the trade used to create real miniature landscapes and environments for a movie scene. The session offers a clear introduction to practical effects work, giving you a feel for how fantasy ideas are developed into physical settings rather than staying as sketches or concepts.

Everything needed for the workshop is provided, so the focus stays on making and experimenting. With small group sizes, the experience allows for one-on-one learning with the crew, making it easier to ask questions, try techniques and develop your own world as you go.

This workshop suits anyone curious about creative making, film craft, or the process behind building detailed miniature settings. By the end, you will have explored how a fantasy world can be shaped into a real, constructed environment using practical effects methods.

What's Included

  • Everything you need to create your fantasy world will be provided, along with personal instruction
  • You’ll receive a Certificate of Creativity upon completion of the workshop.
  • Admission to the Intro into World Building Creative Workshop
