She showed the ceramic dolls and mentioned they were only fired once, and then smoothed off before painting with a stain and she makes some of the clothes which were lovely. Now the porcelain dolls are more work taking somewhere somewhere between six weeks and eighteen hours. They must bo fired twice and go through stages of cleaning with Ajax and water before the painting begins. Then of course those dolls must be assembled leg-arms, heads, but like a pro, she just hinted - HOW. The wigs and some clothes she is able to order through the teacher.
