This 2-day workshop will teach you how to create a 10" doll with a wired neck construction, needle-felted face and jointed at the knees and shoulders with wooden beads. This workshop is for intermediate dollmakers who would like to expand their skills. During this workshop, I discuss doll pattern design and doll mobility, so if that's something that interests you as a dollmaker, feel free to join us.

Sculpting a More Realistic Doll Face

During this one-day intense workshop we will work on adding more realistic needle felted features to a doll's head, instead of the more traditional Waldorf-inspired fiber art doll. You will be given homework to complete before attending. Price does not include materials.
Doll Making as a Business
May 22nd, 2025
Full price $245 USD
Book your spot with a $50 deposit. Full registration will open in March 2025.
This workshop is being introduced at this event. After 16 years of running a successful dollmaking business, I have a lot of advice to share with you. We will spend the morning discussing website set-up, search engine optimization, social media, photography, marketing and best business practices and strategies that I consider extremely important to set yourself up for success. The afternoon will be spent on one-on-one short meetings to give you constructive criticism on your doll work, and more personalized advice regarding your particular aesthetic, business ideas, set-up, etc. You will be given homework to complete before attending. You will receive an e-book with the workshop material.
