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.
