The World of Miniatures Fair hosted by The Durban Association of Miniature Enthusiasts (Dame) was held on Saturday at the Westville Country Club. Radio presenter Dave Guselli was a special guest for the day.

Dame is made up of a small group of creative miniaturists who are passionate about promoting the craft of building and creating miniatures.

Although making miniatures comes with a lots of challenges, for many members whether they create miniatures as a hobby or a career, “it is a wonderful escape from all the challenges faced by the world today – it is a way to nurture that often-neglected ‘inner child’,” said one of the members.

One of the organisers, Priscilla Kleyntjies, thanked everyone who came through on Saturday to support the fair.

“We would also like to thank all our vendors that are non-club members. Everyone made the day special.

Kleyntjies also thanked their sponsors for their generosity.

“To the committee members and Dame Club members, we are grateful for the unwavering commitment and hard work.”
