Dear Stephanie,

How nice to hear from Scotland. I would be happy to come over and teach in Scotland.
There are some romantic memories for me in Scotland. I love your country.

I have over 30 years experience in teaching doll art. If there is anything I can do to help you get the funds please let me know.

Those online classes work very good.

Looking forward to hearing from you again. From August 2nd – August 16th I will be off for holidays.
Warm regards,
Marlaine Verhelst

Dear marlaine,
By sheer accident in April of this year I have become obsessed by art dolls, the making, designing and creating of dolls. I am a principal teacher of art in design in Scotland and I became so excited by my personal journey with my (novice) dolls, I have decided to teach my senior pupils the art of doll making mainly stump dolls to start with. Maybe this will inspire the next generation. The reason I am contacting you directly is I might have funding available to have an artist in residence to teach in my school for a number of days and I was wondering if I can get the funds would you be interested in being my specialist. I would love to do a course with you but the school holidays do not match up with your classes. But I will definitely sign up for your internet classes. I am just trying to work out which one.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Hi Patricia,

Thank you so much for your positive words.
I now have put a list on my table to collect a database with people showing interest in doll classes. I will put you on this list.
I would be interested for sure in teaching in Dubai but I will have to find someone to organize it on that side.
The doll exhibition is a huge success and it is possible that this Summer Festival organization will do it again next year. In that case it would be easiest to have a class during the doll exhibition.
In the meantime I am glad that you are so enthusiastic and inspired and I wish you all the best,

Warm regards,
Marlaine Verhelst
