Is porcelain doll making very expensive? How much does it cost to make a doll?
Like any great hobby, it’s usually a matter of how far you want to go, and how much you want to spend. With our Beginner’s Special, your only investment is the cost of materials needed to complete your baby doll. You will use studio paints, brushes, cleaning tools, etc. This allows the student to get a feel for the joy of doll making. The budget-minded student can then purchase only what is needed, a little at a time (i.e. a brush here, a china paint there, a tool later, and so on.) Students may use studio items, if they wish, but most find that they are more comfortable having their own supplies and tools. Doll makers tend to get rather protective of their tools of the trade! Things such as eyes, wigs, shoes, etc. are available in a wide price range, and fabrics, of course, are limitless. So the choice is up to you. The sky is the limit!
