Her beginner's courses and projectclasses are not only popular with Austrian participants. Brigitte also teaches students from Germany, Switzerland, Italy and Liechtenstein. Some students come from as far as the United States of America.

Brigitte is an expert in the field of antique porcelain reproduction dolls such as Bru Jne, Jumeau, Kämmer & Reinhardt 100 series (Elise, Grete, Marie, Liebling 117), Kestner "Hilda" etc.
Hundreds of dolls delight the hearts of their new owners in New York, Vienna, Tel Aviv, Bangkok, Vaduz, Munich, Schweden and all over the world. Dozens of letters of satisfaction give proof to the joy and happiness that these dolls have brought to their new owners.
