Doll Artist Johanna Flanagan will lead you through the process of designing and making your own bespoke, hand sewn cloth art doll.
The workshop will cover cloth doll design and production, from drafting a bespoke pattern to work from, to working with natural materials, hand drawing a face, and adding fine details.
While learning the technical skills to make a cloth doll, you will also learn how to create a doll that is meaningful to you using both your intuition and your connection to your materials to guide the design process and the development of your doll’s character.
