Three Tuesday mornings in December

Online course with a little homework in between and whatsapp support throughout.

1, 8, 15 December 9am-1pm

£95 plus £30 materials

In this online workshop we will be making a Waldorf style doll with button joints (like the classic teddy bear shape). You will have a choice of skin and eye colours. You will learn how to shape the head with tubular bandage and binding string, sew on the face fabric, then embroider the features and attach hair yarn onto a crochet cap.

We will use good quality natural materials including organic stuffing wool which will all be posted to you. I would encourage you to buy your own choice of yarn for your doll’s hair.

Skill level: all welcome, we will be a small, well supported group. Many complete beginners come to my workshops.

Children's doll making workshop - Five Monday afternoons in Jan/Feb

Online course with a little homework in between and whatsapp support throughout.

11, 18, 25, Jan 1, 8 Feb 4.30-6pm

£95 plus £30 materials

This workshop is intended for children aged 8 and up who would like to make their own doll. It would be good to have an adult in the background to help with the trickier sections.

This workshop is for the slim doll pattern (not the ‘teddy bear’ round shape doll).

You will be guided carefully through the process with five zoom meetings and lots of whatsapp support.

We will be using high quality, all natural materials including organic (non certified) stuffing wool from Rosewood farm in Yorkshire. You will be able to choose your eye and skin colour. Your kit will include a basic hair yarn if you wish but you are encouraged to buy your own separately as there is so much choice out there and this really adds to the character of your doll.

Skill level: Enthusiastic sewers age 8 and up. I believe in enjoying the process and not over focusing on the perfection of the result. Use of a sewing machine with adult supervision is optional.
