Restoration Seminar Page One

Learn doll repair and restoration-
a lifetime career!!

We offer a 14-day training course to teach you all you need to know to operate a full service doll hospital. This is CAREER TRAINING, GIVING YOU A WAY TO MAKE A LIVING. Because there is so much to learn, the seminar is LABOR INTENSIVE, requiring long hours of work to complete the entire course. This is a HANDS ON  seminar-you will bring dolls and fully restore them while in class.(if you believe you can learn either invisible bisque repair, or composition repair, by listening to a 2-day lecture--I HAVE A BRIDGE I WOULD LIKE TO SELL YOU.)
On this page you see a Toni doll restored by the instructor, JoAnn Morgan. On page two of the seminar there are more before and after pictures of bisque and china dolls restored by Joann.When you look at them , take notice the pictures are taken in good light so you can see everything clearly. I have noticed that on other sites, the before and after pictures are dark and often even fuzzy. Click on page two to see them, then on page three to see some actual student work.

Training includes information on how to get your business started ethics, advertising and much more.You learn in class  how to:

  • Do invisible bisque and china repair, including rebuilding shoulder plates and fill in missing pieces.
  • Fully restore composition dolls, from just repairing cracks to completely stripping them to bare composition and making them like new.
  • Completely restore hard plastic dolls.(See before and after picture of the Toni Doll)
  • Restring dolls.
  • Set sleep and stationery eyes
  • Do iris transplants to restore crazed eyes
    in old composition dolls.
  • How to clean dolls without damaging them.
  • Repair leather bodies.
  • Mend cloth bodies.
  • Add colors to cheeks.
  • Minimize crazing with craze control
  • Rebuild fingers, toes and other parts including entire feet
  • And this is just the tip of the iceberg.
