Advanced Newborning
This two day class is a continuation of the Beginner Class. Students must have completed at least one Beginner Class to qualify.
In this class you will learn advanced skin mottling techniques, advanced veining, eyelash application for open-eyed dolls, and advanced rooting techniques. You will also learn how to open the nose, use magnets, make pacifiers, belly plates, and tush plates. If you have questions about any advanced techniques, we will find the answers!
This class is somewhat less structured so participants can work at their own pace. You will be working on a Secrist doll of your choice. Again, everything you need to make your most realistic baby ever is included. Come join some serious doll makers in a focused, but fun setting!
Cost: $390.00
Ethnic (Advanced) Reborning
This class was created to help the more experienced doll maker create a beautiful baby of any ethnicity using Genesis paints.
We can help you create an African American, Native American, Middle Eastern, Hispanic, or Asian baby using formulas that we have developed. The teachers at RAE believe that ethnic color intensity is a personal preference, so whether you want a very lightly colored baby or a baby with deeper tones, we can help you achieve your goal.
This class is arranged to allow you to work at your own pace. You may choose any 19" - 22" Secrist doll to work on, and as always, all materials are included. Enjoy a day of discovery and birth!
Cost: $225.00
