Learn miniature painting in the UK with Roman Lappat Workshops
Hello Jungle,
it is time to tell you about my first trip to the UK, back in June 2019.I got invited by Tim and Mally, that form the great team behind Journeyman Miniatures to teach my first beginner seminar on the island. Really, I never set foot to the UK. Really strange, if I had known what I did miss so far.
Learn the basics of miniature painting with Roman Lappat!
Tim and Mally are such cool dudes with their hearts at the right spot and their hobby souls full of energy for the good things that you can find in our miniature world. They promote and organise seminars with a huge variety of different miniature artists and teachers alike and they got some organisational skills, that every teacher will benefit of. I want to thank both of you from the heart for bringing me over, your hospitality, your comradry and the nice time spent together!
"Firstly, thanks again for a superb weekend. Two of my contribution to the weekend - at the start when I thought "what the hell do I do with this" and the end result where I thought "hey, I'm rather proud of this!". One of the guys from Journeyman, often overlooked as they hide behind the camera. First to arrive, last to leave and always well prepared. One of Matty. You opened his mind so far, by the end of Saturday he was painting with pure light ;) If anyone has a doubt about attending this course, they should put that doubt aside. It's intense but relaxed, constructively critical but friendly, all the while challenging and rewarding. At no point did I feel overwhelmed, but constantly educated and excited." - Dave
"I was writing up my notes from the workshop in St Albans and matching them with the handout, and I just wanted to say thank you so much for an amazing weekend. Just going through my notes has refilled with me inspiration and enthusiasm again and I can't wait to spend the rest of the weekend painting. You're a fantastic teacher! Many thanks!"

"It was the best course I have been to so far, you have struck the right balance between theory and practise, and I really enjoyed the fact that we were not focused on one aspect like other courses might do. The main thing I liked was that you pushed us to do our own project and not to copy each other, this was great because we could see that whatever direction you take, you can have a very nice project at the end."

"Balls deep yes I would recommend him. Himself and Banshee, these 2 guys are like cream and cake, butter and jam, pie and honey!!! This is to say, I absolutely would and Banshee paved the way for my understanding, and Roman to add solid f'in cohesion. I feel like after his course I am free. Free to enjoy painting and my understanding of colours.Best of all is, he's a bloody top bloke too... means something in this world of `interesting` people."

I want to thank the students of this seminar.
Without your interest in my teaching this would not have happened. It was quite the large group of thirty students, but luckily I am always a good prepared teacher that knows how to handle such big groups. I want to thank you all for your trust and good will to travel to this workshop and the joy you did find in my teaching. Thanks for all the good chats about the hobby and life alike. Thanks to those repeaters of the workshop who once joined before. It does mean a lot to me and I was happy to push you even further again. Thanks to those who supported this review with their photos as I did not take many myself.
