Our Processs

Lucie Kaas Kokeshi dolls are more than just decorative pieces; they are handcrafted works of art steeped in tradition and care. Each doll undergoes a meticulous process, involving 43 distinct steps to transform raw wood into a beautifully painted figure. Highly skilled craftsmen and craftswomen bring these dolls to life, employing both modern techniques and time-honored methods of woodwork and design. From shaping the smooth, rounded body to carefully carving each unique feature, every step is intentional, ensuring the doll's balance and character are perfectly captured.

Once the basic shape is formed, the dolls are hand-painted, adding intricate details and expressions that give each figure its personality. The paint is applied with great precision, but because this process is done by hand, slight variations and imperfections may appear. These are not considered flaws but are instead celebrated as features that make every piece one-of-a-kind. The result is a doll that is both a tribute to traditional craftsmanship and a contemporary piece of art, cherished for its individuality and charm.
