Have you always wanted a tiny 1/144 scale roombox or vignette for your dollhouse or 1/12 scale roombox? To learn some of the secrets of working in 1/144? To experiment with casting? Visit my classes page to see what I'll be teaching September 18, 19, and 20th at the 2024 Guild Show in NJ. In 2025 I have two classes in process: a Toy Kitchen at the Williamsburg Study Program in January in Williamsburg, VA, and a Small-town USA Cafe / Bakery in June at the Guild School in Maine. Ideas are always percolating and I promise you prototypes are in progress!
Work-in-Progress and How-To
Every project provides unique challenges and opportunities to learn from mistakes--both the ones we make
and the ones we don't! For a peek at my projects and the occasional tutorial, visit my blog.
With a little help from my friends.....

IGMA School in Castine, Maine
Each year, the International Guild of Miniature Artisans hosts Guild School in Castine. Students explore a variety of projects and learn new skills from some of the world's best miniature artisans. It's a week chock-full of learning and doing, networking and sharing, and even a bit of shopping. The Lobstah doesn't hurt, either.
Welcome to some like it small!
Come and explore the fun and magic of small scale miniatures. Drop me a note and say "Hi" and let me know what you're working on. You can also follow me on Instagram.
