Based
in Cape Town, South Africa, the Guild is a non-profit
organization committed to the promotion of miniature
craftsmanship in the Cape Town area.
Our origins go back to 1990
when an American professional miniaturist, Nick Nichols,
came
to South Africa.
He came to present a series of
lectures on the theory and techniques of making miniatures
and room boxes at the University of Cape Town Summer
School. This event coincided with an exhibition
of dollhouses and miniatures at the Natale Labia Museum and
contributed to the founding of the
Miniaturia Guild of Cape
Town.
Our aim is to
promote the love of miniatures, teach basic
skills and
accumulate a library of magazines, books, videos and
dollhouse and furniture plans.
We are a group of
warm and generous people who help each other and share one
another's joys and frustrations.
