Doll Making/Maquettes

While apprenticing with dollmaker, Stephanie Blythe, I helped to make 60 marottes for a United Federation of Doll Clubs luncheon. This is a sample of the work I created. This process included plaster mold making, pouring, refining, firing, painting porcelain, small-scale costume sewing/creation, and silk and ribbon dyeing.

Above: The doll I constructed under Stephanie’s guidance, January-April 2022.
