Doll making is an engaging and exciting art form. Instruction will consist of a basic step-by-step method of construction and design with an emphasis on skills and technique. You will learn to use polymer clay to create heads, hands and feet, be introduced to pattern making for designing and sewing cloth bodies and costumes, and learn a basic method of building a wire armature to bring support, movement and expression to your dolls. Two projects will be completed. The first project is a learning/practice piece to introduce and explore basic methods and use of materials. The final project will be designing your own doll, employing your new skills and techniques, while learning to enrich and direct your curiosity, style and inventiveness.
