When seeking a studio to learn porcelain doll making, ideally the teacher should hold the appropriate qualifications from one of the major doll organisations - for example, I hold a “Grand Master of Dollmaking” from the international Doll Artisan Guild. Such teachers will attend several doll making seminar each each to ensure they keep abreast of the latest doll making techniques and products. In choosing such a teacher you can be assured of learning the art of porcelain doll making correctly.
My dollmaking classes are held each Thursday morning 10:00am – 1:00pm. and within these class times each student’s actual hours time can be flexible.
The "classroom" is a dedicated, fully equipped studio attached to my house at 13 Fairmont Ave., Camberwell (Vic). Classes are conducted in a relaxed atmosphere where students make their dolls whilst enjoying a chat and cup of coffee at the same time.
Class fees for 2012 are $8.00 per hour, and class semesters’ follow the school timetable. Each class is limited to 5-6 student’s.
Student's can choose from all of the dolls featured on my web site or, subject to certain conditions provide their own greenware. Alternatively, if there is a particular doll, or style of doll a student wishes to make for which I do not have the mould, then I may be able to obtain the necessary greenware on their behalf. All of the necessary components to complete the doll are held in stock.
During the class “sessions” you will work on your own doll and be taught all aspects of dollmaking necessary to create your very own masterpiece. For example, cleaning of the greenware, the various stages of painting the doll, selection of a suitable wig, etc. and finally, assembling the doll.
If I can be of further help, or you would like to visit and look at my range of dolls then please feel free to give me a telephone call on (03) 9889 5445.
