Stumped for a holiday gift idea for the miniature lover in your life? One of the best gifts I have gotten in the last few years was an embroidery
class in Williamsburg, Virginia. It wasn’t a miniature class, but it was a stupendous treat for me, and I’ve found many ways to use what I learned on miniature projects.
My husband asked me recently, what I’d like for Christmas this year, and I’ve considered asking for a class at the IGMA study
program in Colonial Williamsburg January 13-16. There are four classes being offered, two emphasizing the construction of different pieces of furniture, one class decorating and assembling
a fancy side chair, and a fourth class in needlework; all being taught by well known IGMA Artisan and Fellow member teachers with loads of experience in their craft. The study programs make for a wonderful long weekend experience at an historical location, with a little culture thrown in for good luck.
If you are able to appreciate gratification delayed for an even longer period, the gift of a week at Guild School in June will be even more of a
Wow! gift. Class information is posted on the website with photos of the class projects, and now that the pre-registration period is over, information on which classes are still available will be posted soon.
Hi, nice to see a regularly updated blog.
As a tip, would it be possible to have an indication in the pictures of the scale of the items shown? It would be useful to know whether a particular item is 1/12, 1/144 or real life. This would help in enjoying the detail and comparing to one’s own work.
Enjoy miniaturing

By any chance do you know the maker of the painted
fancy chair ? I have one CERTAINLY by the same maker
