Meet the Miniaturist: Craig Labenz

We met up with Craig Labenz from Craig Labenz Miniatures for a special Saturday edition of Meet the Miniaturist/Furniture and Structure Edition on May 8 at 3pm.

Craig is a freelance visual designer and WordPress developer who has had a passion for miniatures since he was a kid (sound familiar?).

Craig's technical miniature making skills are unmatched. Most of his work centers around recreating period furniture, environments and other objects (metal work!) in fine scale. He is quickly earning "master miniaturist" status and we wish he would quit his day job so there would be more of his awesome miniatures in the world!

We had a great chat with Craig, learned more about how wildly talented he is and focused on 1/12 scale furniture and structure and is skilled working with various materials like hardwoods and metals.

In addition to sharing his tiny treasures, workspace and favorite tools, Craig gave us a really good sense for what puts the "fine" in a fine miniature.
