Join Theresa and Amy in this one day class learning 4 different styles of wearable dolls! In this class, you will learn to work with different media and techniques to make up to 5 different pin dolls. You can take all of these home for yourself, or you can enter them in the ADAA pin doll swap. Theresa will show you how to make two different styles of pin dolls using polymer clay, buttons, jewelry findings, face molds, and assorted stuff. Amy will show you how to make a pin doll using mixed media collage techniques and another doll using traditional sewing techniques.
In the morning, you will work with Theresa on the Button Witch and Steampunk Sal. In the afternoon, you’ll work with Amy on the Mixed Media Angel and the Seahorse. There are two variations on the Angel and supplies will be provided to complete both. Pre-work is required for the Seahorse.
