Public Masterclass: Scale Model Making (Afternoon)

Dis­cov­er the intric­ate secrets behind small-scale archi­tec­tur­al designs with artist and mod­el­maker Maz Wei­neck.

Learn how archi­tects and design­ers work across a scope of dif­fer­ent dimen­sions to cre­ate accur­ate, tiny archi­tec­tur­al works. From draw­ing at scale to cre­at­ing 3D objects with card and tim­ber, you’ll start by cre­at­ing tiny recre­ations of objects from our Mater­i­als Lib­rary, and then zoom out to make lar­ger sec­tions of the space. 

Maz Wei­neck is a mod­el­maker and artist whose work explores and cel­eb­rates archi­tec­ture in many forms. Maz has worked in archi­tec­ture for over 10 years, includ­ing hav­ing worked for Stan­ton Wil­li­ams, the stu­dio behind the design of the UCL East Marshg­ate build­ing — the home of our Strat­ford workshop.

Import­ant inform­a­tion about our bal­lot sys­tem for this event:

We are using a ran­dom­ised bal­lot sys­tem for this event. 

Our bal­lot will go live on Monday 28^th Septem­ber at 05:00. To be in with a chance of join­ing us, select as many mas­ter­classes as you are inter­ested in attend­ing and sub­mit your entry before Sunday 11^th Octo­ber at 23:59. Please note: it makes no dif­fer­ence when you sub­mit your entry; enter­ing early does not increase your chances of secur­ing a space. All places will be offered at random.

If suc­cess­ful, you will be emailed a link to book a space on one mas­ter­class from Monday 12^th Octo­ber 2026. Suc­cess­ful applic­ants will have 24 hours to book their slot; how­ever, if you do not book with­in 24 hours, your place will be offered to someone else. Even if you have selec­ted mul­tiple mas­ter­classes on your sub­mis­sion, you will only be able to book one mas­ter­class. This mas­ter­class will be pre-chosen for you at ran­dom from your selection. 

If you are inter­ested in attend­ing our research talk and/​or Mater­i­als Lib­rary tour, this will not affect your chances of gain­ing a slot on a mas­ter­class, and will not count towards your one mas­ter­class booking. 

Once all tick­ets are fully booked by the bal­lot win­ners, we will noti­fy every­one who signed up and offer them the oppor­tun­ity to join our wait­ing list for last-minute dropouts.

This mas­ter­class is suit­able for ages 18+.
