London Dollshouse Showcase

Established in 1985, the London Dollshouse Festivals have been searching the globe for the best craftsmen who can perfectly replicate every day life in miniature. We have artists from all corners of the world attending our London shows. These craftsmen specialise in all aspects of miniatures from a grand, fully decorated mansion to a humble clothes peg & everything in between.

KDF SUMMER SHOW: Make it Small Miniatures. One problem with shrinking down our life to 1:12th of its real size is that some things shrink down better than others. There is nothing we like more than finding a beautifully made piece of furniture, say a wardrobe with opening doors, only to have the problem of filling it. Most miniature clothes are too stiff to sit right on a coat hanger so you wardrobe will only fit one or two outfits. Obviously this is not acceptable for most fashion-conscious girls of today, so thank goodness for @gillbayesminiatures who has made it her mission to supply clothes that will actually fit in a 1:12 scale wardrobe or cupboard. We cannot wait to see her full collection at the KDF Summer Show on May 12th & 13th, alongside other exciting new makers. KDF Summer Show May 12th & 13th 2023 Kensington Town Hall Tickets available to book now via our website. #miniatures #miniatuefashion #fashion #dollshouse #dolls

KDF SUMMER SHOW 2023: Minimonkeys Work has begun in ernest in LDF HQ on the Kensington Dollshouse Festival Summer Show on May 12th & 13th. Things are shaping up well & we already have an exhibitor list of over 100 confirmed miniaturists & suppliers that are booked to attend. It is a truly international show & if you head over to our website & follow links from the menu bar to the 'Exhibitors' in the 'KDF Summer Show', you will see we have sorted exhibitors into the countries they are travelling from (as far afield as New Zealand & South Africa). One of our new craftsmen attending from Germany is Minimonkeys. We have been gently persuading Sybille to come to London for quite some time, so we are thrilled she will finally be joining us.

SPIRITS IN A DOLLS HOUSE We were lucky to have a small selection of Jennifer Kallin's beautiful collection of Tri-ang dolls houses on display at the Christmas Show earlier this month. There is something very charming about Tri-ang houses. They are generally not grand mansions, but copies of everyday houses that average people lived in which is probably why they were so popular for so many years. Dolls houses used to be a representation of how life was lived at that time & this has become a great record of our homes in the past. This trend is now having a comeback in miniature houses & we are seeing more contemporary dolls houses being created. Maybe these will be a record of peoples homes today, as Tri-ang houses were of homes in the early to mid 20th Century. Jennifer kindly invited us to her home prior to the Christmas Show to see her full collection & you can now read more about them on our website.

More images of the Festival to follow in the next few days. 1: The always welcoming Geoff Wonnacott. 2: @sarah.hendry_ of Pocket People. 3: Long time attendee, Lucy Askew. 4: Relative newcomer, but now a must-see, Anthony Dunham, with KDF Regular @nicolamascall looking on. 5: Talented new artist Lara Byng @darkwillowart #dollshouses #miniaturehouses #faces

KDF CHRISTMAS: Tribute to Laurence St Leger. Following the sad news of Laurence's death last week, we are still in shock that he will not be at the show with us on Saturday as he has been for the last 25 or so years. Caroline Hamilton kindly suggested that she could bring her incredible collection of over 100 of St Leger Mechanical toys to the show again as a Tribute to Laurence & his quirky sense of humour, so if you missed them in May, this is another chance to see this fantastic collection. The mechanical toys were made by Laurence & Angela, in perfect harmony, just like the mechanics in their tiny automata. There will be a book of condolences for you to write your memories of Laurence that we will pass onto Angela & family after the show. #mechanicaltoys #automata #unique #goat

KDF CHRISTMAS: Gingerbread Craft Club We are expecting a busy show on Saturday with hundreds of young miniaturists decending on Kensington Town Hall to shop & admire the work of our exhibitors. We always like to have lots for our young visitors to do when at the show so we will have our popular Golden Treasure Hunt taking place throughout the show & our Gingerbread Craft Club will be open for business too with a very special guest! David Ward is usually an exhibitor at the show but is having a year off, so instead, he will be popping into the GCC after 2pm on Saturday to give a masterclass to young miniaturists on sculpting with polymer clay. Children will be able to make a plate of food for their dolls house & we will even cook it in our oven so it is ready for you to take home. David is an incredibly talented sculptor & this is a rare & exciting opportunity to learn from a master! The Craft Club will be very busy, so we will only be able to fit in a limited number, but we will do our best to have enough time for all who want to take part. We imagine David will be teaching his skills from about 3-4pm in the GCC, & we advise that this will be suitable for older children aged 8+. Younger children will be welcomed in the Club House from 2-3 + 4-5pm. We look forward to seeing everyone there. KDF Christmas Show December 3rd 2022 11.00 - 18.00 Kensington Town Hall. Children & Family tickets still available. (Family tickets can enter after 2pm) #dollshouses #childrensactivities #miniatures #london #christmas
