Francisca Markus - dollmaker |
by Tonia Wezerijn
Francisca is born in Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel in the Netherlands, in a family with 4 children. Since she was a child she loved being creative. As a child with drawing, colouring, cutting and pasting, as an adult first with drawing and painting and since 2007 with modelling. In answer to my question how she became a dollmaker she tells me, that, after making a porcelain doll (molds) and a vinyl (reborn) babydoll, she would like to make something completely by herself. She looked for classes in the neighbourhood, but classes for making a babydoll were completely booked. She kept looking and via a Dutch dollmaker magazine she found a class for modelling fantasy figures by Hannie Sarris.
At least once a year Francisca attends a class with a well-known dollmaker, such as Marlaine Verhelst, Saskia Hoeboer, Diane Guelinckx and Kamilla Meesters. Doing so, she learns different techniques from each of them to improve herself. Her education in Fashion & Clothing serves her well! Since 2011 Francisca is also a member of the management of Dabida, the Dutch and Belgian Institue of Doll Artists (www.dabida.eu). Every year an exhibition is held and although all the preparations take a lot of time, it’s a celebration every year.
Nowadays Francisca organises classes for adults herself. For starters, who would like to ‘taste’ of a new hobby, but also for people who are more advanced in modelling. Would you like to see more of Francisca’s work? Please visit her website: www.franciscasdreamcreations.nl.
