PORCELAIN DOLL GROUP Formed about 10 years ago as a group of people wanting to make porcelain dolls as a hobby. Learning doll making process Step 1: The greenware is cleaned and fired, which shrinks it by about one third. (We can pour some of our greenware using moulds that we have available for use by members of the group) Step2: It is then cleaned again to make it very smooth before an overall blush is done, then it is fired again Step3: You can start painting the lips, eyebrows, lashes, cheek blush, and if needed, hair can be painted on. Wigs and eyes can be obtained from distributors. It is helpful if you can sew to clothe the dolls. The Art Centre provides a kiln for use by members. It is a fascinating, enjoyable hobby, which produces lovely dolls for gifts or to keep.
