Have you ever looked at the fine-scale miniatures in T/m’s collection and asked yourself, “How do they do that?!” Now’s your chance to find out! Join T/m for a virtual chat with a fine-scale miniatures artist. Peek inside their studio to see what they’re currently working on, learn about the processes they use to create their miniature works of art, and take part in a Q&A session.
The series continues April 25 with fine-scale miniatures artist Nell Corkin.
A self-taught miniature artist, Corkin has been making miniatures nearly her entire life. After earning a bachelor’s degree in art history from the University of Delaware, Corkin worked in a variety of art-related fields, including fashion and art appraisal. In the 1980s, she became a special effects model maker for the motion picture industry and worked with prominent directors such as Steven Spielberg and Ridley Scott.
Since 1993, Corkin has specialized in fine-scale miniatures under the business name Miniature Miniatures. She is a member of both the National Association of Miniature Enthusiasts and the International Guild of Miniature Artisans (IGMA), and she was awarded the title of IGMA Fellow in 1998.
