Meu site Doll Art Brasil (DAB) onde ensino a esculpir fadas e bonecas em cerâmica plástica vai completar 1 ano neste mês! Tem sido uma experiência maravilhosa não só para mim como para os alunos que fizeram parte do curso neste primeiro ano. O resultado são alunos satisfeitos e felizes com tudo que aprenderam!Para comemorar o primeiro ano de DAB vou presentear duas pessoas com um curso completo!

On March 27 it will be one year since I started my teaching project and the website Doll Art Brasil. As a way to celebrate I will give two free courses. It has been a wonderful experience. This first year is closed with a lot of happy students who will soon become new polymer clay artists! I feel so happy that I could help people in my country learn this wonderful art.

This beautiful fairy has been finished on my Doll Art Brasil website. She now belongs to one of my dear students. She "chose" her owner through a drawing that happened on December 30, I had a video conference with all my students where I made the drawing and it was a lot of fun!
It was my way to say thank you to all the wonderful people who joined my course and trusted me. It is not always safe to join such kind of website as you may end up frustrated in the case that the artist just stops teaching because she/he becomes engaged in other projects (it happened to me once). That's why I am so proud to have completed this project, teaching people in my country, how to sculpt an adult and a child fairy in polymer clay, from the very start to the end. And yet I've given them a bonus - a mermaid lesson - which I will post pictures here soon.
The best thing about all this is to see the result of my work. Some students are even starting to teach other people in their home studios where they used to teach cold porcelain only. It is just fantastic to see they've learned so fast through my lessons, that they are able to teach now! While it took myself five years to find the confidence and experience to do so. This is just the best reward I could get.

This is the fairy I am creating at my learning website Doll Art Brasil.Last week's lesson was painting the face. I always love painting and the way it changes the sculpted face as it was a brand new face! I am very happy with this fairy and it's really great to imagine she will belong to one of my dear students...

This is what my students got as for the lesson this week: learning how to make eyelashes and how to handle Viscose in order to make this beautiful curly hair. Both this cute little fairy and the adult fairy I am making on the course will be given to one of my students who wins the drawing that will happen at the meeting I am planning for them at the end of the course! I can't wait for that!

This is the cute little fairy I'm teaching at my learning website. This week was painting lesson, and I love it when I can see the doll painted, it almost feels like she is alive! It's amazing they turn out completely different after painting. I'm also teaching how to creat an adult fairy, I will post pictures later, when she is on the painting stage too. We are alternating lessons every week between the child and adult fairy. It has been a wonderful experience to me. I'm enjoying it so much and I'm doing my best to teach my students just the way I would like to have been taught. It's so rewarding to see everyone is happy and enjoying the lessons.
