Sharing the craft

Looking forward, Eric plans to inspire and pass on his artistic skills to others with an apprenticeship program. Interested to learn more?

Each dollhouse is a heritage piece passed down between generations. I build my dollhouses with finished exteriors and leave the inside as a blank canvas for families to finish together. The dollhouses become heirlooms that tell stories of the past and create memories for the future.
