IGMA was founded to promote fine miniatures as an art form

NAME is a non-profit, educational organization whose purpose is to promote miniatures as a distinct art form, to provide education forums on their construction, historical significance and intrinsic value, to preserve unique collections in a miniature museum open to the public (located in Carmel, IN), and to maintain a mutually beneficial network of collectors, crafters, and artisans.

The Miniature Needlework Society was founded in 1997 to encourage all forms of miniature work with needle and thread: embroidery of every kind, knitting, crochet, tatting, lace making etc.

A total of eight classes are being offered. There are two 1-day classes, one 2-day class, two 3-day classes, a 4-day class, and two 5-day classes.
