IIORA is an Institute and NOT a guild, and was founded in 2008 after realizing the need for a formal body to regulate the quality of artists who creates reborn dolls and sculpts whether a OOAK or for production. There are so many artists out there today and not all of them deliver work of the highest quality. We at IIORA are striving to keep this art very professional and of the highest possible standard, knowing that any client who purchases work from an IIORA approved artist, can be sure that they will be only getting the best. All our artists are scrutinized and only the best will be awarded with an IIORA membership, thus making sure that we always offer only the best to the world.
