CLOTH DOLL
MAKING WORKSHOP
With JAN
HORROX
FOR 2015
TO BE HELD AT:
LOOKING FOR A NORTH LONDON VENUE
PEASEBLOSSOM
We shall be making the doll pictured above –
– first day – we shall focus on the sculpted head
and face painting – making 2
alternatives and also the hands. These
hands have 2 separate fingers and are wired.
– second day – we shall make the rest of
the doll and put it all together, finish the costuming and hair, wings
etc.
Peaseblossom has a sculpted face, stitched joints and button
joints so the 2 days will cover quite a range of techniques. The main intention is to teach the basic
techniques so that you can go onto all sorts of other patterns and even create
your own.
Peaseblossom is one of the dolls in ‘Making Fantasy Cloth
Dolls’, my second book published 2013.
If you come for the first day only – you will learn the
head, face and hand techniques that I use.
The pattern, flesh cotton, chenille sticks and
a basic stuffing will be provided. A
list of other fabrics and materials required will be supplied.
All tools, threads, pens and crayons and any
other equipment needed will be available for your use in the workshop.
I will bring 3 sewing machines
but if you are able to drive and can bring your own it will be quicker for you
and you won’t need to queue. If you are
coming by public transport – then you can use mine.
I will send full requirements
list and map etc after booking.
