Online Dollmaking Class - Full Course - - March 8 - April 5

Join me for an inspiring online workshop where you'll learn the traditional art of doll-making from the comfort of your home. Whether you’re new to dollmaking or looking to expand your skills, this interactive experience is perfect for bringing your creativity to life alongside like-minded people.

Under my guidance, you’ll learn step-by-step techniques to create your doll (about 14-inch tall) using high-quality natural materials. You’ll learn how to sculpt a beautifully needle-felted face, giving your doll its own unique personality. You’ll also create the perfect hairstyle of your choice using luxurious mohair and animal fibers, adding the finishing touch to your doll's charm.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll gain valuable knowledge and skills to confidently continue your doll-making journey and bring more beautiful creations to life.

The workshop is designed as a series of sessions, giving you the flexibility to join the full course or select individual sessions. This makes it perfect for those who want to create a complete doll or simply focus on mastering specific techniques.

The sessions will be taught live on Zoom and recorded, with a link emailed to you after each session. You’ll have access to the class recordings until October, giving you ample time to revisit the lessons, practice at your own pace, and refine your doll-making skills. Between sessions, you can expect some homework to help you progress, and you’re welcome to email me photos of your work for personalized feedback and guidance.
