Saturday Doll Talks

11am: Little Stitches An overview of sewing clothes for dolls. The presentation will focus on American Girl dolls but the information included applies to sewing for other doll brands and sizes as well. Topics will include selecting patterns and fabrics, tools and notions that are useful for doll-sized projects, and tips for starting your first (or next) project.

1pm: The Wonderful and Challenging Journey of Making a Porcelain Ball Jointed Doll with Artist Kendra Fleischman Have you ever looked at a porcelain art doll and wondered how they are made? Join artist and retired art educator Kendra Fleischman as she shares her experience making her first ball jointed porcelain doll, from concept to completion. Learn about the entire process, starting with the design phase and the creation of the doll, and ending with a peek into how Kendra creates finishing touches such as wigs and costumes.

Roundtables will be held on Friday from 1-3pm.
You will be able to purchase a variety of kits at different scales at that time. Costs of the kits can go up to $7 but usually they are $5.
The Drop In workshops are held on Saturday & Sunday. There will be a display of the workshops along with the times and prices on a table outside of the Sales Room. You can either join an instructor and make a kit or purchase a kit w/instructions to take home (if available). Kits vary in price up to $10.
