Description
of Class: 3-Day Class: Join Leslie in creating this cloth doll inspired from the
1800 wooden versions.
A jointed body and carved
face decorated with stylized eyebrows and brightly rouged cheeks characterize
the "Queen Anne" style dolls. English woodcarvers and craftsmen began
making these dolls in the 1600s which continued through the 1840s. Affordable
only to affluent families, the vast majority of Queen Anne dolls where owned by
women, who dressed them in the fashions of the time.
In this Body class, you will learn to create a jointed limbed body of cloth with a three dimensional face, inset painted almond shaped eyes. Learn unique painting techniques to give your doll an antiqued wooden finish.

Name of
Class: Tasha and her Corgi Dogs
Description of class project: Tasha Tudor was an extraordinary woman, best known as a children's illustrator whose pastel watercolors and
delicately penciled lines depicted an idyllic, old-fashioned vision of the
19th-century way of life she lived, shown in her life, her spirit, her
dress.
Here I created a doll in memory of her. My goal was to
capture her simple, yet thoughtful style. Together with Leslie create this Free
