Making Miss Teacup
Join me in making this lovely 10” art doll, during a 3-day workshop geared at intermediate or adventurous dollmakers who want to experience both the camaraderie of an in-person live workshop as well as learning new dollmaking techniques.

First, let me introduce you to Miss Teacup. She is a lively little thing, and though merely 10” tall, she is packed with personality, movement and never ending requests for clothes, adventures and photoshoots. She is quite the diva!
She was born out of my intention to teach other dollmakers how to needle felt very small doll faces, how to create suitable doll hair for these tiny beings and how to joint and design doll patterns with more mobility.
We came up with her name because as I was making her, she gladly waited for this or that to be finished, while sitting inside an antique teacup I have in my studio in Canada.

I have taught this workshop several times in the past few years and this is the only time I will teach it in 2026, this time in Portugal.
The price of the workshop is $572 USD. If you are a resident of the EU you can contact me privately for a version in euros and payment can be done via bank transfer. This price covers your tuition and materials.
Upon registration I will send you a list of the sewing and sculpting tools you will need to bring to make your doll. Most dollmakers have everything they need already in their magical cupboards.
This doll is quite small but that sometimes takes longer to create, that’s why we are giving ourselves three full days to bring her to life.

I have prepared a little video with some behind-the-scenes of these previously taught workshops, so you can take a peek and see the many dolls made from it. You can watch it here.
In the video I am upcycling a beautiful hand-embroidered tablecloth that unfortunately it’s quite damaged, so it will find umpteen lives via many projects and doll clothes in my studio.
I am also including some of the lovely words of encouragement from other talented dollmakers who have taken this workshop before.
If you have questions regarding the workshop, please don’t hesitate to contact me.
Time is flying by and before I know it, we will all be sitting together overlooking a beautiful serene scene of Central Portugal, making dolls and making friends.
I hope to see you there!
