Your First Lantern

⭐ Welcome, traveller

If you’re new to the Guild - or new to miniature making - this page is your first lantern in the workshop.

✦ What You’ll Find Here

A working notebook written in public:

• experiments
• techniques
• materials knowledge
• mistakes & fixes
• WIPs
• reflections
• Sunflower Time posts

Everything is honest.
Nothing is perfect.
You are safe to begin.

✦ Where to Begin

If you’re overwhelmed, start small:

1. Read a few experiments
2. Explore the Seals Page
3. Visit the category that calls to you
4. Try something tiny

Small things are safe.
Small things count.

✦ Beginner’s Starter Kit

You only need:

• a brush
• a few paints
• something tiny
• a surface to ruin
• curiosity
• permission to make a mess

✦ A Note from the Keepers

You don’t have to be good.
You don’t have to be fast.
You only have to be curious.

Pull up a stool, friend, whether you shape worlds or simply witness them, the lantern burns for you.
