Jane very much enjoys teaching doll-making to students at all levels. About once a year she is able to schedule a two to five day workshop on skills such as sculpting, mould-making or miniature dress-making. All techniques are covered thoroughly so that the student can continue to progress at home.

Generally these workshops are organised by a dealer,collector or doll-maker for a group of friends. If you are interested in setting up a workshop contact Jane for details.

Jane’s current workshop is to sculpt a 14-jointed,1/12th scale child.
This is modelled in Paperclay over a resin “skeleton”- a construction method suitable for doll-makers with a little experience, or even a keen beginner. The technique allows the student to develop his or her own style to produce their own original doll.

This workshop takes 4-5 days depending on how long the students work each day. At the end of the last day I expect students to be able to “play”with their completed dolls, finding out how very poseable they can be.
