I don't think you could call Gillian a doll maker as she makes so few but those she has made are just captivating. All hand painted with the most soulful expressions, even the little lilt adds to their beauty.
Her new webpage is lovely but sadly no dolls, she has however started offering online study courses including one entitled 'Unearth, Gather, Create' which sounds wonderful. Focusing on the act of creating it takes the student on a journey of discovery about you as the artist, looking at style, material and aesthetic - it sounds very appealing. For more information visit this lovely website at www.gillianleesmithartist.com.
Finding UK doll makers is a growing interest, we are not as thin on the ground as you may think and over the next few months I hope to find many more to share.
