Montserrat Folch has joint our Petit Family of Artisans
with her beautiful signature style miniature collections
depicting a romantic bygone era.
Her miniature items add charm and detail to any scene.

is also available on my website –
Montserrat’s love of design and romanticism inspired her
to take home decorating and design lessons.
From here it was just a matter of time
before she got interested and involved
in the wonderful world of dollhouse miniatures.
Montserrat bought her first dollhouse in October 2004.
She started looking for information on the Internet,
trying to learn as much as she could to be able to make a proper dollhouse.
As Montserrat was making and improving on her work,
she got fond of handcrafting miniature accessories.
In her own words:
I wanted to prove to myself that I was on the right path
so I went to a local Miniature Fair on August 2005,
taking my haberdashery items.
I enjoyed the experience so much that I made up my mind
to attend a Tom Bishop Show in November the same year.
It was there that Montserrat discovered
the great range of miniatures that could be handcrafted,
seeing a tiny but very real world.
With this little seed planted in her head
and while walking in the old district of her hometown in Spain,
Montserrat “discovered” the world of antique books.
Her discovery and appreciation inspired Montserrat
to start making her enduring range of books, letters, scrolls – just to name a few.
During 2006 Montserrat attended the Madrid Miniature Show
with her new library collection.
From here she tried different techniques and materials
to be able to make new and interesting miniatures.
Today Montserrat is able to introduce various new collections
due to her experience, perseverance and determined attempts.
I am very happy to welcome Montserrat and her talent to Petit Connoisseurs
this week and I am looking forward – together with my blog followers – to enjoy all Montserrat’s new creations.
Now is the time to add a Montserrat Folch Miniature to your collection.
Happy Miniatures!
