The Malta Society of Arts, Manufactures and Commerce is introducing a new course that will concentrate on building top grade models from readily accessible, cheap, and recycled materials - using basic tools. No prior experience in the field is necessary and the course is “hands-on”, aimed at imparting the necessary skills as well as information to the absolute novice.

The instructor will be Alex Vella, a model maker of long standing, who has judged in such world class events as the Euromilitaire in the UK and the Zinnfiguren Modellburse in Germany, as well as in other shows in Italy and the USA. The evening course will run over 10 lessons of two hours each lesson, and will start in October at Palazzo de La Salle in Valletta. The course fee is Lm9.

Application Forms, registrations and further details on the course can be obtained from the Malta Society of Arts, Manufactures & Commerce, Palazzo De La Salle, 219 Republic Street, Valletta from Monday to Friday between 8am and 1pm.
