Belgian Doll Artists

Belgium doesn't only have great artists and internationally known fashion designers, there is also a group of creative souls that is not in the limelight. We have some very good doll artists, each with their own style and craftsmanship. It's a world that a lot of people don't know about, especially if they haven't visited a doll fair yet. When I tell people that I sculpt dolls, I often get that look on their face "oh yeah...". But that is only until they visit my website or I start talking about our passion, the way we sculpt the dolls and what lives in this dolls world, or when I tell them that doll collectors from around the world buy our dolls. Then they tell me: "I really had no idea!! When I think about doll making, I imagined something else". But doll making isn't this old fashioned hobby, it's a small world that is very much alive and growing.

Doll making is for us doll makers often a way to express ourselves in a non-conventional way. We get a lot of questions like "and where do you get these moulds?" or "where do you get these patterns, or ideas?" Well, one of a kind doll makers make unique dolls, they design the doll from their own ideas, in their own style and using their own specific materials.

It has been a dream for me for a long time to see all these Belgian Doll Artists together in one website, that's why I took the initiative to build this website. It will be a fun mix of all different kind of styles and colours!

I hope you will have as much fun visiting this website as I had building it! Doll lovers and collectors will surely love it here!
