Heirloom Doll Workshop with Local Earth Studios

Workshop lead by Mariah of Local Earth Studios:

In this 5 hour workshop, you will create your very own custom heirloom doll that will be cherished for generations to come. Gift it to a favorite child in your life, or simply create one for yourself, relishing in your “inner-child.” You will be provided with a handmade primitive cloth doll and during the course of the day, you will create an outfit and accessories including the use of natural dyes and paints on your fabric. You will also practice some simple embroidered techniques to add the face and hair. We will be hand sewing the clothing. No experience is necessary, although basic hand sewing knowledge will be useful.
