Online Masterclass: Creating a Doll Hairstyle — by Victoria Tsetelman

In this online masterclass, you will learn step by step how to create a hairstyle for an original handmade doll. The course is taught by Victoria Tsetelman, a doll-making artist with over 15 years of experience in polymer clay and porcelain, whose works are held in private collections around the world.
