If she is wanting to make original dolls there is a wonderful book titled:
Creating Original Porcelain Dolls (Modeling, Molding, And Painting)
by Hildegard Gunzel
ISBN: 0-87588-339-7
It goes through the process step by step and is very clear.
Good luck!

Hello everyone,
My wife and I recently inherited a collection of porcelain doll molds (along
with a kiln) from her grandmother. We've thrown pottery for a couple of
years (still beginners), but would like to attempt some porcelain dolls. My
wifes grandmother used to make a porcelain doll for each girl in the family.
Amazingly, as I thought you could find out anything on the internet, I can't
find very much information on the internet. Also, our local library (which
is normally quite good) is lacking in information. I saw a single post on
this list back in 1996 suggesting "Creating Original Porcelain Dolls" 1989
by Hildegard Gunzel. It's out of print, but I can find it online.
Surely, this isn't a lost art due to the number of sellers on the internet.
And there seem to be quite a few places with supplies. Does anyone know any
additional resources on how to make, paint, and finish porcelain dolls
(books, websites and such)?
Thanks for your feedback,
Alan.

Doll making is alive and well.
Check the magazine racks in the book stores. There are any number of
magazine devoted to dolls and doll making. Porcelain doll making is a
unique specialty in the clay world. I have sculpted and produced two
originals, but it is not my thing. If you wish to view one of them,
check my web page at http://webpages.charter.net/jhr and once there look
for "Natasha". This one was "my only little girl".

You might try Amazon or Indigo and check out Antique Doll Reproduction. Mildred Seeley was a wonderful resource, unfortunately she passed away several years ago and even her fabulous collection was auctioned off. Mildred wrote several books on making dolls and if you are able to track specific ones down, they would be helpful. There were a number of good references but perhaps your local library could help - subject heading antique doll reproduction and go from there. Good luck, Barb

Paragon sells "How to Make Porcelain Dolls," by Kathy Rhyand
and the late Sandi Scoville. It is a 90 minute video in VHS
format.

You can try the Seeley's porcelain site
http://seeleys.com/
and
http://dollartisanguild.org/
I have a friend who is a doll maker.
it's an art.
The costuming and facial painting takes hours and hours.
These people just don't get the recognition they deserve.

Alan,
I'm looking for a mold with the name Bi Lo Eskimo or Baby Bi Lo Eskimo
on it. I may not be spelling the Bi Lo part right but it is pronounced
that way. If you have one in your stash and would be interested in
selling, let me know, please.
Anyone else - if you have hear of this mold or know where one is, please
contact me.
thanks,
John Rodgers
