Hello, my name is Laura and welcome to Country Treasures! I am a miniaturist specializing in 1/12th scale birds & nature based near Bristol, UK. I take part in dolls house shows across the UK and occasionally sell online too. Below is a little bit about me and my work.

My earliest creative memory is designing tiny miniature cardboard plates with my sister Rosie for our dolls house. Having grown up closely with my grandparents, miniatures have always been a part of my life. You can read more about my grandparents and the history of Country Treasures here.
During my time at Plymouth university I began making little butterflies under domes and paint box settings whenever I had the chance.
Whilst volunteering with The Wildlife Trust in I was much inspired by the nature seen in the reserves. This is when I started to combine my love for the countryside with miniatures! I made my first little red robin from polymer clay in 2013.

Having grown up in the Staffordshire countryside my work is largely inspired by rural life and in seeing nature all around. I make all the birds by hand, sculpting them from polymer clay and then carefully painting them. I also use an entire range of materials to create my miniature pieces. My favorite material still being polymer clay as it is so versatile for different projects.
