The International Doll Makers Association

• The International Doll Makers Association (IDMA) was founded in 1972, just outside of Phoenix, in Goodyear, Arizona. It was developed as a means for doll makers from around the globe to share their ideas and dreams about doll making, including porcelain dolls. There are eight branch clubs located across the United States; however, the parent club is located in Arizona. Each year, the IDMA's annual convention is held in Arizona and offers a number of hands-on workshops. From the creation of doll accessories, such as leather boots, to the creation of an entire porceilain doll, complete with bridal outfit, the IDMA annual convention offers a workshop for every doll-making enthusiast.
