Dollmaking

Dollmaking is the craft of creating dolls, which can range from simple representations to highly detailed art pieces. It involves designing or shaping the doll's body, head, and limbs using materials like clay, polymer, cloth, or porcelain. Artists often add realistic features such as hair, eyes, and clothing to bring the doll to life. The process combines sculpting, painting, sewing, and assembly skills, allowing for both artistic expression and functional play or collection. Dollmaking can be a meticulous, craft-intensive process that results in unique, collectible items or expressive art objects.
