Meet the Miniaturist: Steve Putnam!

Meet the Miniaturist Steve Putnam from Steve Putnam Designs (www.steveputnam.com).
Steve is multi-disciplined artist from the UK who has had a passion for miniatures since childhood inspired by his grandfather, who was a model maker.
Steve studied fine art and has broad experience in set design, high-end retail display and (award winning!) landscape architecture. It's his miniatures, however, that deserve a prize!
We had a great chat with Steve and learned more about his passion for the tiny, get a tour of the uber-fabulous Dutch cabinet house he created and got to see some of the fine artisan miniatures he has collected to fill the structure.

Keeping the surprise factor I would replace that glass with a mirror. Makes it a very functional piece of furniture and then, Kapow, when it is opened.

[@janealace]

It became difficult for a few years to find good quality miniatures and true artists, enthusiasts, and craftsman in the field. I am excited to see a resurgence in this hobby.

[@rainbowgirlism]

D. Thomas, is there any video that shows the interior of the dollhouse that’s behind you at 0:31? (Or beside, depending on one’s point of view.

[@DThomasMiniatures]

the inside of the cabinet house behind me is not decorated....nothing really to show!!! but thanks for the interest!!!

[@PetrikNZ]

WOW! Anthony Rivett, wonder if there is any information out there about the technique. Fantastic vases.(Edit) Ah, a little bit of info later on. Without miniaturists sharing details these things really become a lost art form. Good to hear Steve shares his techniques (I will be searching for his instagram shortly.)

[@cynthiajuarez5855]
