International Guild of Miniature Artisans, Ltd.'s primary goal is to promote fine dollhouse miniatures as an art form, thus removing them from the category of crafts. This goal is achieved in various ways...all of them innovative and exciting! The Guild is a mixture of miniaturists, both collectors and artisans, who have much in common...an appreciation of fine miniatures. We are an organization which unites them both! |
