Online Classes & Workshops

Here is an index of all the online courses currently offered, from making a full doll, dressmaking and learning needle felting and sculpting techniques. Please go to the bottom of the page for my 2025 calendar of in-person dollmaking workshops.

Online Doll Classes

These classes are hosted in my Doll Making Academy, and teach you through step-by-step videos with written annotations in English. You have a list of required ingredients, online suppliers to purchase materials, tips, tricks and more. They are open for registration and then you have access to the class for a certain period of time, depending on the class content. Enough time to create one or two incarnations of the class, and also a deadline so you have a time goal to complete your class.

Access to this class is for a year, more than enough time to create your little dollhouse people. Materials are not included but kits are available from reputable online suppliers.

Needle Felting Classes

The following classes are taught via step-by-step videos in English, with all explanation on the video. They include a glossary, FAQs, troubleshooting, a PDF that gives you guidance to the materials you need and patterns that you can use to finish a doll as the classes only teach you the intricacies of sculpting doll faces. You can ask questions as you are working through the class and have access to them for 1 year after you enrol.

Beginner Sculpting Class | Child Face

Price: $325 USD (VAT charged separately)

This class 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. Class is ‘on demand’ so you can enrol in this course at any time.

Intermediate Sculpting Class | Baby Face

Price: $325 USD (VAT charged separately)

This 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.
