of Barceloneta (feat. Sonikgroove)

Material:

Polymer Clay

Carmen hails from the vibrant neighborhood of Barceloneta, a place where the scent of the sea fills the air and the rhythm of waves is a constant lullaby.

This tune, now known as "Carmen of Barceloneta," echoes throughout neighbourhood, capturing the essence of the sea and the heart of a girl who calls it home.

Nina

Material:

61 cm / 24 in
Polymer Clay

Nina, whose stage name translates to "doll" in Catalan, is truly a puzzle. Her real name remains a closely held secret, enhancing her enigma.

Bathed in the soft glow of moonlight, Nina is both enigma and allure. Between dusk and dawn, she lives a life untethered, a quiet storm in the heart of the city.

Dunia’s rare smile is like the first hint of sunlight after a storm—brief and impossible to forget. It feels like a gift, one that leaves you wondering if you truly saw it at all.

Dunia takes paths no one else sees, slipping through Raval’s maze of alleys with the ease of someone who belongs to the city’s very bones. She is both a part of Raval and apart from it.

Guest:

How long does it take to make a ball-jointed doll?

Anna:

Your first doll may take a few months, depending on your project and pace. My seven-day Barcelona workshop uses my moulds to help you complete the process in person.

Guest:

What materials do I need to start?

Anna:

It depends on your project. My free lessons include a materials video and a full-doll PDF template, so you can plan before buying supplies.

Guest:

Can I learn online or in person?

Anna:

Both. I teach online and in my Barcelona studio. Book a free call: we’ll discuss your goals, identify what’s holding you back and build a personal roadmap.

Guest:

Are your courses for beginners or professionals?

Anna:

Both. Start your first doll as a hobby or develop your practice professionally. I can help you work towards exhibitions, selling your dolls and sharing your work online.

Guest:

What if I’ve never made a doll before?

Anna:

You can start with no doll-making experience. 400 of my students have finished their own dolls. Try the free lessons and take it one step at a time.
