NEW BLEUETTE ONLINE COURSE Starts September 23rd 2020

Welcome! News Flash!!!! My next online “Live” course starts Wednesday, September 23rd, 2020!!! This course features some of my favorite little dolls, BLEUETTE!!! In this two month course I will be demonstrating to you how to make a Bleuette from start to finish. I will be featuring the Bleuette “Premiere Jumeau”, Bleuette “Silver” SFBJ 301, and Bleuette “Gold” SFBJ 60. As time allows, I will also show you some of the other Bleuette’s and Bleuette “Friends” I make. 

The online courses currently are all done through private Facebook groups. (You must have a Facebook account to participate at this time. I am planning on eventually putting my courses on another platform to eliminate the need for Facebook but this particular course will still be on Facebook.

First let me clarify, you do not  NEED to be present for the “Live” classes on Wednesday nights at 7:30 PM Central Time. All classes are recorded and the videos are available for viewing at any time in the group that is convenient for you watch.  I have had many students worldwide through the years that the time for class does not work out conveniently for them so they have never attended a “Live” class. 

The cost for the Bleuette Course is $50.00. This is an exceptional value, for being able to learn the steps to porcelain doll-making from the comfort of your own home, at your own pace. Once purchasing the course you have lifetime access to all the classes, videos, photos, and instructions. No time restriction on taking the course.

Also included in this link is eight past courses available for purchase with a limited time special: purchase four courses and receive a fifth course of your choice free! Just purchase your four courses then contact me as to which course you would like to attend for free. Limited time offer ends November 1st, 2020. 

I will also include a link to information on my accompanying CD Workbooks for the Bru, Jumeau, and In-Depth Blue Eye Painting courses. These three courses are the only ones with accompanying CD Workbooks. There is no CD Workbook available for the new Bleuette course.
