According to the company’s social media, the MinaLima staff will be offering free craft workshops and tours of their London studio, June 29-30 and July 6-7:
“House of MinaLima is celebrating love in all its forms with free tours and craft workshops on 29+30 June and 6+7 July, culminating in something fun on Saturday 8 July! No need to book, just drop by! During the workshops you’ll learn some of the paper engineering skills that Miraphora and Eduardo use when working on films, as you make a prop of your own with a message of love tucked inside.”

The uber-talented MinaLima duo, Miraphora Mina and Eduardo Lima, who are certainly fans of the Potter saga themselves, were interviewed recently by El Mundo as covered here by Leaky. They discussed some of their personal Potter favorites as well the joy they get from sharing their wizarding memorabilia with fans at their studio. Earlier this week they joined the fandom in the celebrating the 20th Anniversary of Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone when they posted some of their earliest and most iconic creations:

London Pride Month, which takes place Saturday June 24 to Sunday June 9, 2017 is one of the largest Pride events in the world. Though not restricted to the LGBT community, this event gives those individuals a platform to raise awareness and campaign for equality on a wide range of LGBT issues and is often recognized as one of the most inclusive events in the world.
