Have you ever wondered how the some of the best LEGO mosaics are designed? Have you wanted to build one yourself? In this workshop you will learn everything you need to know to design your own mosaic. We will talk about various techniques in design — where one method is better than another, etc. You will even get a chance to build your own full color mosaic to show at Brickworld and take home at the end of the event! Builders are asked to bring $20 to cover the cost of materials, or $15 if they bring their own 32x32 baseplate. Builders are also highly encouraged (but not required) to bring laptops, and to install GIMP, available for free at http://www.gimp.org. Builders must also decide on an image they want to turn into a mosaic ahead of time, and if unable to bring a laptop to the workshop, send the image via email to moody.jeremy@gmail.com. Any other questions about the workshop may be sent to that address as well. Take some time to think of a good subject for your mosaic; remember that these mosaics will be relatively small, so tiny details won't show up. If you are unsure if a particular subject will work, feel free to ask. Limited to 20 teams of builders.* A team refers to a group of one or more builders working on one mosaic. Non-builders may come to watch, provided space is available. Led by Jeremy Moody

Capturing the fine details is about knowing what LEGO elements work best. Arthur is a master in the scale recreation of architectural structures. Attend this class and learn some of the secrets of creating these artistic structures. Participation is limited to 35 people for building. There is a $15 fee for participating in the building portion of this workshop and you keep the model when you are done. Please bring the $15 in cash to the workshop. Led by Arthur Gugick

Yes, 2 LEGO stores this year. When you check in at the event you will draw a pass out of a bag. The pass will determine which store (Northbrook or Woodfield) that you go to for the in-store event.
Once you are at the in-store event, you will find more damaged goods at each store than you can imagine. The store is only open for the sale of the damaged sets during the in-store event. Your special attendee discount is good from Thursday through Sunday except during the in-store event.
