Welcome to my dollmaking journal. I write doll stories, share tips on this creative journey and so much more. Hope you enjoy your visit!.
This is the schedule for all my online classes in 2024.
Self Paced Class

This is an online class completely in video form that teaches you how to firmly needle felt a doll’s face, so that it retains its shape over many years, as well as creating depth and beautiful features.
If you just want to get started needle felting doll faces and your main aim is to make dolls that resemble young children then this class will be perfect for you.

Self Paced Class
Open to students now in 2024
Price: $325 USD
This self-paced class teaches you how to create a doll’s head while sculpting the features to resemble a baby face with closed eyelids.
If your heart mainly aches to make baby dolls then this class is for you.
If you have been sculpting more traditional Waldorf-style dolls and want to take your sculpting to a next level, then this class is for you as well.
You will learn how to properly drape the skin fabric over the face in order to bring to life all the wool sculpting you did, without using glue to keep the fabric tight.
The class does not provide a body pattern or covers embroidery of the doll’s eyes, it does show you how to sculpt the fabric around the eyes for the closed eyelids version.
Class is imparted entirely through very detailed step-by-step videos, with annotations, written material plus some templates for guidance.
You can sign up, read more about the class content and watch an introduction video here>>>.
