The National Association of Miniature Enthusiasts was founded in 1972 by Allegra Mott to promote the craft of miniature making through the association and friendship of its artisans, craftsmen and collectors. NAME is an educational, non-profit organization dedicated to the miniature collector and builder through sharing ideas and experiences among its members. Our goal is to link people of like minds in order to share our love of the hobby that captivates us.

NAME members are welcome to sign up for the free Online Region, where classes, tips, chat, and other resources are offered to members only. Check out the videos, DVDs, and slide shows in our Media Library, too!
