If you've ever dreamt of creating a doll that not only stands the test of time but also captures beauty, artistry, and craftsmanship, this course is for you. As an artist who has dedicated years to mastering the delicate process of doll-making, I'm here to share my passion with you and guide you through every step of creating your own porcelain ball-jointed doll.

Each doll is a labor of love—crafted from raw porcelain, shaped by fire, painted with care, and assembled with precision. In this course, I'll take you on a journey from the first pour of porcelain to the final moment your doll comes together, full of life and character.

What You'll Learn:

• Firing Porcelain in the Kiln
  Porcelain is a fascinating material. Its transformation through fire is nothing short of magic. In this course, I’ll introduce you to the stages of porcelain firing, including bisque firing and the final high-temperature firing. I'll guide you through every step, so you’ll know exactly how to handle the material at each stage.

• Painting with China Paints
  For me, painting is where the doll truly comes to life. Using China paints, you'll layer delicate hues, building depth and expression with each stroke. It’s not just about adding color—it’s about creating character. With every layer, fired in the kiln to permanently bond with the porcelain, you’ll reveal more of your doll’s personality.

• Assembling the Doll
  The final stage—assembling your doll—is both challenging and rewarding. Using steel springs, you’ll give your doll not only structure but the ability to hold a variety of poses. I’ll share the tips and tricks I’ve learned along the way to ensure your doll is durable, elegant, and full of movement. With my assembly guide, you’ll learn to work with springs and metal hardware.

Why This Course Is Special

• A Craft That Lasts for Generations
  Porcelain dolls are timeless treasures. Using steel springs and durable materials, you’ll create a doll built to last. The techniques you’ll learn ensure your creation will be enjoyed for years, becoming a beautiful keepsake that can be passed down through generations.
