Hand-Sewn Art Doll Workshop Series with Alisa McRonald
April 9 + April 16 | 6pm - 8pm | 119 Wyndham St N (Art Not Shame)
*$30-$50 sliding scale for workshop series, register below!
In this workshop we will use fabric, yarn and various other materials to create a unique doll made with love and intention.
This class is for anyone who wants to learn about doll making for fun or ritual. A handmade doll is a powerful way to help yourself or another through a transition or to provide good wishes and support for any occasion.
The only skill required is very basic hand sewing. All materials will be provided, however, please feel free to bring anything with you you'd like to include.
*We are committed to maintaining equitable access to our programs. While we strive to make all of our programs free of charge, we do not always have the resources to do so. When a program is offered for a fee, those who are able to pay are encouraged to do so, while those who cannot will receive the necessary support. Our goal is to ensure that everyone has the opportunity to participate, regardless of their financial circumstances, while maintaining our commitment to fair wages for artists. Please email maeve.hind@artnotshame.org if cost is a barrier.
