Guild Study Program

January 16-19, 2026   |   Colonial Williamsburg, VA

“That The Future May Learn From The Past”

The International Guild of Miniature Artisans, Ltd., conducts Study Programs at leading museums for its members. Working with the museums’ curatorial staffs and Guild instructors, Guild members study specific masterworks and related exhibits. Instructors research their projects and design challenging classes within an eighteen-hour framework. Students learn to create miniature replicas of full-sized objects from the museums’ collections. They might be an historic piece of furniture, a painting, a household object, or an architectural detail such as a fireplace or paneled wall. Other attractions include special guided tours that enrich the students’ knowledge and appreciation of beautifully crafted objects. Beginners and experienced miniaturists alike will learn and benefit from the program.

The Guild invites you to be a part of these unique learning experiences!

18th Century Tea Table - Iulia Chin Lee, IGMA Artisan
1:87 Scale Millinery and Mantua Maker’s Shop - Nell Corkin, IGMA Fellow
