Join Counterspell Games at Welcome to Chinatown, as we teach you how to create and paint a new fantasy character, while you sip a selection of coffee from Alcove!
Spend the afternoon off your screen and step into a magical fantasy world. All painting experience levels welcome!
What is mini painting?
"Mini painting" (short for miniature painting) is the hobby of hand-painting small figurines, usually made of plastic or resin. The figures are typically 25–35mm tall, so indeed, they are mini!
It's most associated with tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons & Dragons or Warhammer, where the minis represent characters or creatures on the game table. But plenty of people paint them purely as a creative hobby.
Try our mini-game!
⭐️ Marnie & Nick, the co-founders of Counterspell, will be on-hand to help you create a custom character with the roll of the dice.
🌟 Next, we'll help you select a mini to match your new character's personality, as we provide all the painting materials and techniques you need to bring them to life!
✨ Your ticket includes one mini and unlimited event time to paint. We'll also provide you with a protective container to take your mini safely home with you :)
Never rolled a D20 before? No worries!
This is a great opportunity to explore the world of tabletop games for a spell. And if you regularly play TTRPGs like D&D or Daggerheart, this is the perfect time for you to dream up your next character (or even paint a mini of your current one!)
What our painters are saying:
❤️ “It was so fun!!! More things that involve imagination + art/creation :)“
📚 “Really fun time, perfect for introverts!”
🤩 “The time flew by, I was in the zone"
🎨 “I loved being able to make a new character.”
What you'll experience:
A selection of delicious coffees to try, curated from our partners at Alcove.
Everything you need to get creative. We provide all the materials, from paint to paintbrushes, dice and dice trays, and a selection of heroic miniatures to choose from.
Create your hero, tell their story. Whether you're creating a new character using the Counterspell mini-game, or would like to paint an existing character from your TTRPG campaign, the choice is up to you!
Make new friends IRL! Counterspell Games events are completely in person, with no screens. Take a break from notifications and doomscrolling, meet new people, and share in a truly analog experience.
We'll see you in The Rift!
