From clay to porcelain art
Three classes that take you from your very first sketch to a finished, heirloom-quality ball-jointed doll - entirely your own.
The Dream
You've imagined it.
Now let's build it together.
Ball-jointed dolls are one of the most intricate and rewarding art forms a maker can pursue. Every joint, every glance, every kiln firing is a decision - and every decision is yours. These three courses were built so that nothing stands between you and the doll in your imagination.
Three courses. One complete path.
Take them in sequence or start wherever your journey calls you.

FAQs
-
The three courses follow a natural progression - sculpting, then molds, then porcelain casting. If you already have a finished sculpt, you can jump directly into the Mold Making course. If you have your molds ready, the Porcelain course stands alone. But the full journey together gives you the most complete foundation.
