Classes

I love to teach the art of doll making.

I have a number of online courses available at different levels. message me at ellamckcreations@gmail.com for information on other classes.

Silicone Cuddle Baby Online Class

This class is a low cost way to start learning to paint silicone. It includes all of the materials* needed to complete a silicone cuddle baby with open mouth. There are choices of blank kits on this class which may change the price, but class with supplies and a doll kit starts at £389. The online classes are pre recorded so that you can watch at your leisure, and watch them again if you choose. Additionally I will give you support for any questions that you may have relating to the techniques in the course. Access to support and classes is for 3 months. The paint supplies will be sufficient to paint around 3 to 4 silicone cuddle babies depending on their size.
