The Ultimate original doll-makers bible |
|
For the beginner in making artist's original dolls this is the BEST book I have found if you want to make original dolls in porcelain. The step by step pictures are absolutely brilliant and the book takes you through all the processes from sculpting, to mold making, to pouring, firing, painting, putting your doll together and dressing it. A must for any original doll artist in porcelain. |

An excellent reference book for the advanced artist |
|
This is a very comprehensive book for the advanced artist who has an interest in sculpting, molding, casting and firing his or her own porcelain originals. Anatomy, sculpture, mold-making, firing and decoration techniques apply not only to dollmaking, but to any similar sculpture, moldmaking and casting endeavour. Patterns and instructions are included for doll clothes and creation of marionettes, as well as supplier listings. However, these suppliers are in Germany, so they may only be of limited use for those of us in other countries. The book is translated from German, but the translation is nearly flawless and is written in easy to understand verbage. I highly recommend this book to the experienced dollmaker, sculptor or ceramic artist who is interested in making the leap to creation of originals for porcelain reproduction. |
