BJD Sculpting Masterclass
Create your own ball-jointed doll from air-dry clay!
What is a BJD Sculpting Masterclass?
The BJD Sculpting Masterclass is an in-depth, comprehensive learning experience that covers all the techniques I use to sculpt ball-jointed dolls. In this course, you'll find step-by-step photos, video tutorials, and anatomy lessons designed to guide you through the process of creating your own ball-jointed doll.
Here's a preview of one of the lessons to give you a better idea of what to expect: "Detailing the Lower Torso."
To sculpt your doll, no specialized equipment is required. All the materials are easily accessible and can be found at your local art supply store or online. You can view the full list of materials here.
How Does It Work?
The BJD Sculpting Masterclass is a self-paced online course. All lessons are pre-recorded and become available to you after payment. There’s no time limit—once enrolled, you'll have unlimited access to the course, across all of your devices, for as long as you like.
You'll also gain access to a private Facebook group exclusively for students. There, you can receive individual consultations from me, ask questions, and share your progress with others in the community.

Sculpting the face requires a solid understanding of anatomy. In this masterclass, I’ll provide a summary of key anatomical guidelines to help you bring your doll’s character to life.
Design and Sculpt Joints
Joints are often the most challenging part for beginners. I'll share my favorite techniques and guide you through step-by-step tutorials to master this process.
Create a Fully Poseable Doll
By the end of this class, you'll be able to sculpt a fully poseable ball-jointed doll. I’ve documented each step of my sculpting process and detailed all the techniques I use.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Class Live?
No, all the lessons and videos are pre-recorded, allowing you to learn at your own pace. We all have different schedules, so I wanted to give you the flexibility to work on your BJD when it’s convenient for you. This seemed like the best approach!
What Clay Do You Use?
I work with air-dry clay, specifically "La Doll." Other good options include "Premier" or "Creative Paperclay." This class is designed with air-dry clays in mind, so some techniques may not work with polymer clays.
How Long Do I Have Access to the Course?
How does lifetime access sound? After enrolling, you’ll have unlimited access to the course, across all of your devices, for as long as you like.
Can You Explain the Structure of the Class?
The class consists of step-by-step instructions, featuring over a thousand pictures, anatomy lessons, and videos that give you an up-close look at the process. Here’s a preview of one of the lessons: "Detailing the Lower Torso."
