KSB Miniatures Workshops

April 13 to 17, 2027

Maysville, Kentucky

"The Magic of Raku in Miniature" with Susan Van Tubbergen, IGMA Fellow

Did you know the Kentucky Gateway Museum, located in Maysville, KY, houses one of the largest collections of museum quality miniatures in the world. The KSB Miniatures Collection features mesmerizing 1/12 scale reproductions of historic homes, furnishings, and people, complete with working lights and running water.

KSB also sponsors miniature workshops every year.

Join me April 13th-Apr 17th 2027 to learn “The Magic of Raku in Miniature”. This class is open to beginners as well as seasoned potters. Students will learn how to throw on a mini pottery wheel followed by a special raku firing. This is the only class I will be teaching in 2027, and the only class of its type in the country.
