Student Level: All
Type of Workshop: Process and Project
This is a 9 hour workshop, beginning on Monday evening and continuing on Tuesday.
When you were a young one, did you get into trouble when you cut your dolls hair? Well, you get to deconstruct a doll with me and you will be praised for doing so. She will be reassembled into her own new look. We will then sculpt her an outfit using Venetian Plaster, paint her a pretty face and plaster coat her, hand sew her a fluffy skirt, and create some wings so she can fly.
