“I’m so inspired by the diverse talents of MET members. Even though I have been making miniatures for a long time, I learn something new at almost every meeting. It keeps me motivated, and my own work fresh!”
– Karen

Membership details
We meet on Monday evenings (usually twice per month) from 7:00 to 9:00 pm in Memorial Community Hall, located on the concourse level of the North York City Centre building (5110 Yonge Street in Toronto).
Our “business meetings” include much more than club business updates and discussion. There’s also time for skill-building sessions, artisan talks or small “make & take” projects.
Workshops are a fabulous way to pick up skills and try new techniques. They carry a modest charge to cover the cost of supplies that rarely exceeds $15.
Our annual membership fee of $50 ($30 for students) helps to cover the costs of renting our meeting room. Members are also expected to volunteer about 5 hours at our annual Show & Sale. Members must be at least 18 years old.
