Heat waves may drive one outdoors but staying cool and calm on hot summer days can be refreshing and our workshops allow you that opportunity along with being creative and productive.

A visitor to the Toy Soldier Factory today drove a 1928 vintage car that stands out as rare indeed. The Lancia was the first car to feature a load-bearing unitary body, (but without a stressed roof) and it also pioneered the use of an independent suspension (the front sliding pillar with coil springs). Vincenzo Lancia even invented a shock absorber for the car and it had excellent four wheel brakes.

We had a visitior at our Toy Soldier Factory today that had a special car, a Lancia Lambda. It was the first car to feature a load-bearing unitary body, (but without a stressed roof) and it also pioneered the use of an independent suspension (the front sliding pillar with coil springs). Vincenzo Lancia even invented a shock absorber for the car and it had excellent four wheel brakes.

Sam and Millie graced our little corner of Cork on Friday April 10th to paint a beautiful cat and detailed footballer during a workshop. Watch these figures cast in liquid metal and then paint them as forever souvenirs. Step away from your worries for an hour and be creative.
