The craft, process, or business of making dolls.
Compound of 'doll' and 'making' (from 'make' plus '-ing'). This term emerged as dollmaking evolved from folk craft to commercial industry, particularly during the Industrial Revolution.
Traditional dollmaking techniques like sculpting porcelain heads or hand-stitching cloth bodies developed over centuries, and artisan dollmakers today use these same methods—it's one of the few crafts where historical techniques are still valued as premium!
