Doll Making

There is something special and eternal about a hand made doll for a young child.

Participants at this workshop will each learn how to make a soft and cuddly doll from recycled garments and stuffed with sheep’s wool. You will also be supplied with handouts and patterns to make your doll a brother or sister in your own time at home. Your doll will fit newborn sized clothing, please feel free to bring these along if you would like to take him or her home warmly dressed for the winter.

"Play with dolls is of special importance because it is one of the ways through which the child can externalize his/her own inner being."-

of children."

"Imagination is what lets us try out and possibly fulfil anything we set out to do". - the minimal details of the dolls expression encourage and nurture the developing childs imagination.

Soft, fluffy and cuddly dolls, lovingly handmade easily become precious and appreciated by children.
