Soft Sculpture Articulated Doll Making Workshop
With Artist Sue Brown
Saturday & Sunday, January 24-25, 200910:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
Sue
will be teaching a doll making technique that she learned at a workshop with
Akira Blount at the John C. Campbell Folk School. Her dolls are shown to
best advantage in the book 500 Dolls. This workshop was paid for by the
Weavers Guild of St. Louis through the guilds scholarship program.
In this class we will be using cloth doll construction to complete a doll in
the two-day workshop. Soft sculpture techniques using a needle and
various other tools will be employed. The doll will be jointed at shoulders
and hips, have an expressive soft-sculptured face, and will be dressed in a
wondrous array of silks, satins, batiks, or whatever your heart desires.
The techniques employed are not difficult, BUT some degree of sewing ability is
involved - Can you hem a pair of pants
and not have it look like you hemmed them???
All supplies will be furnished by the instructor. To facilitate completing
the doll in two days, some of the sewing will be done by the instructor.
Full directions for making the doll on your own will, however, be
provided.
Experience level: Minimal Sewing Machine experience required.
