Louise Spear, long-time Hartsbrook handwork teacher, will be giving a 3-session workshop on making Waldorf dolls, which is also taught in middle-school handwork classes.
When: Thursdays 8:30-10:30am February 13, 27, and March 5, 11Where: Hartsbrook Handwork room
Cost: Lessons are free to the community, materials and supplies estimated $15-20
Materials:
= Special doll fabric (group order to save on shipping, specify color)
= Stuffing and tubular gauze (group order for bulk stuffing)
Supplies to bring: Needles, thread, embroidery floss, hair (yarn)
In the first session we will create the inner head and torso and add the skin fabric to the head and sew this down, as well as do facial features if we have time. The last step could be done at home once everyone has an idea of what to do.
In the second session, we can create patterns and cut out the body and arm pieces. These then need to be sewn before we can stuff and attach to the body.
As most of the crafters can probably crochet, starting a wig for the doll can happen anytime after we have made the heads. I have always sewn on hair at the end but it could be done earlier by careful adults.
In the third session, we would stuff the body pieces and sew them all together. Fast workers could also work on hair or clothing but these last two items could be done at home.
