Christmas will be here before you know it! If you think you might want us to finish out your Dollhouse, now is the time to get in and get it started. Pick out your wallpaper and lights and let us get busy on your house today. We are only able to do a limited number so we can only do houses purchased at our shop.
Are you into Miniature Dollmaking? We are now carrying Doll and Miniature Molds from Jean Pardina, Something Fancy from Carl Armstrong, Seeley's, Joyce Wolf, and Mystic Molds. Order molds, greenware or bisque from our huge selection of molds! Or if you want to learn, come join our ongoing Open Studio on Wed. evenings from 6:00-8:00. The cost is only $15.00 for 2 hours!
At the Miniature Cottage, we now have a wonderful display for the museum pieces and for our own permanent collection. We also have a mold room, where we are able to pour all of our miniature dolls at the shop. Greenware as well as bisque pieces are available. Come in and see the changes we have made.
Mark your calendars for our newest classes at Miniature Cottage!
Coming Soon! Details about a wonderful Doll Class taught by Carl Armstrong in Feb. 2009!
*On Wed. nights from 6:00-8:00pm Renee Derra will teach all aspects of MINIATURE DOLLMAKING. Learn to pour, clean, and fire the porcelain pieces. Then learn how to china paint, string, and wig your little dolls to finish them up! Or you can bring your own doll to work on with expert help. You are welcome to pour any dolls of your choice for just $5.00 per doll from our vast selection of hundreds of popular molds.
*Thanks so much to Jean Flippen for the wonderful wiring class! Students old and young alike leaned all the basics needed to wire their miniature houses or room boxes. They even took home a wired board to test all their lights before installation. Everyone learned a lot and had a great time!
