 Sculpting a child’s head in polymer clay:

I teach a method of sculpting that will help the student to visualize and develop his or her own style of sculpting. Along with anatomy I will teach proportions for different ages of children. This will include sculpting a breast plate and how to make both a stationary and a movable head


 Sculpting a woman’s head in polymer clay:

 I teach a method of sculpting that will help the student to visualize and develop his or her own style of sculpting. Learning anatomy and bone structure of an adult woman.


 Sculpting beautiful hands:

Sculpting hands using a wire armature and polymer clay. Students will learn anatomy and how to sculpt hands in proportion to the face—no more hands that are too big or too small. Learn “finishing” techniques; also, see a variety of ways to attach hands and arms to the body.
 Sculpting beautiful feet:

I teach how to sculpt realistic feet using a wire armature and polymer clay along with proportions and anatomy of feet


 Full body sculpt of a child.

I teach a method of sculpting to make a little 7 inch full body sculpt child. It is an intensive class but  student learn how to sculpt, build armatures and construction as well as proportions. This class is a culmination of all of my classes and student will gain a lot of skill and knowledge.


 Creating a custom made mohair wig:

Have you ever been frustrated not to be able to create the exact
hairstyle you wish for your doll? I will teach you how to make a
custom fit, realistic, removable mohair wig for any type of doll, whether
it is polymer, fabric, paperclay or porcelain. The wig will be built on a cap, which will be a custom fit for you creation, then removed  and styled the way you wish. The advantage of this is you can finish your piece without the hair getting in the way. I will also show basic hair styling and cutting tip.
