PetitPlat = Little Plate by Stéphanie Kilgast
Hi Everyone!
I have a slight Art formation and a master degree in architecture.
I discovered my passion for miniatures in summer 2007, while I was searching for a new hobby because I was bored...
At the time I was still a student and didn't find a summer job so decided to go 7 weeks to my parents. Well after (only) 2 days I got terribly bored and googled like crazy for a new craft.
When I stumbled upon miniatures all my childhood ran back. Indeed as a child, I played a lot with Barbies and made some clay food out of regular sticky clay for them.
Somehow the passion grew bigger and bigger until it got my entire life. It was a struggle to finish my architecture degree but I knew I wanted to work as an artisan.
I started as an official and declared artisan in April 2009, finished my architecture degree in September 2009 and was finally free and happy to be a full-time miniaturist :)
So this is what I'm doing full time. Sculpting miniature versions of food for collectors and as jewelry.
I have some more plans as an artisan, and would like to try some other things: ceramics, sterling jewelry, sewing, miniature furnitures, ...
I'm working also on becoming a teacher in my craft, I already gave some classes on CDHM.org and on CraftEdu.com
Although I'm seriously lacking of time for that part of my craft, I really would enjoy writing a tutorial book about sculpting miniature food in a near future.
