Porcelain is unique material when it comes to sanding, cleaning up the seams and detailing casted pieces. Today I want to talk about just that! This process can be relaxing and fun because there is no dust, just a tub of water and bisque-fired porcelain pieces.

This is probably the most requested article since I’ve started making porcelain dolls. The truth is, I’m still learning myself. I have maybe fifty firings under my belt and not all of them were successful, haha. But I know how sparse the information about firing porcelain dolls is. So maybe we can learn together at the same time? That being said, take all this information with a grain of salt, it might be a nice introduction, but it’s not a professional guide. If you have any insights, feel free to share them in the comments below!

While I'm working on two new dolls, I thought it would be interesting to reflect on my doll making process and let you peek behind the curtain. This time I'll be talking about my first porcelain BJD - Fern Flower.
