If you have ever attended a workshop weekend away or went to any conventions; then you are very aware of how
fun miniatures are! My dream was to have a place where once or twice a year, miniaturists could come and share
their love of creating miniatures on an intimate scale.
Nationals or
large conventions are wonderful but it is a small group that learns the most from each other. It would be great to have
people from all different countries come with ideas and talents to share with one another; plus learn a few things from me!
I have been in miniatures for twenty years now (hate to say that as you'll think I'm old!) and
have learned a lot of tips and tricks over the years. I loved miniatures so much I decided to go and get my degree in
Industrial Design (Arts Degree) to learn more about model making, sculpting, animatronics and prosthetics....and use all these
skills in miniature making. I have been involved in many clubs over the years and am now President of
MEET in Lethbridge area. I just completed my term as
Regional Coordinator of N.A.M.E. in Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba if you are interested in joining drop me a
note. If you are a NAME member check out the Club Corner as it has new projects every few months which I am State Rep
for.
We are currently renovating the rooms above the Museum so they can be utilized for
Miniature Workshop Get-Aways. They should be completed in the summer of 2010 and then workshops will be scheduled.
We will host workshops at another location until our Inn and hosting houses are completed.
