"The ART Doll Workshop"

*All work shown is that of the instructor

As a guest instructor, I would like to share with students the many joys I’ve experienced in the art of doll making over the years. I would like to assure them that they, too, can create “Art Doll” quality work. In the various workshops I offer, students will have an opportunity to work with paper clays, learn techniques for creating an effective armature, and even develop skills in facial painting in order to give a more “natural” look to their dolls. Decide which workshops are right for you. All the workshops are geared to provide valuable skills that will help further your doll making abilities. I will provide step-by-step guidance on how to achieve these goals. We will not attempt to capture realism; instead, my goal as instructor will be to help you express your own personal vision and have a great time in doing so. Book a workshop now!

This fall I had the pleasure of teaching
at the "Art Is...You" east coast retreat.
It was wonderful to be included among the fine artists that gathered together, teacher
and students alike. Many thanks to Sallianne McClelland & Ellen Purtill-Legare, the ladies who make it happen!
