In March 2012 I will be conducting an “Art of Doll Making”class at Place des Arts in Coquitlam. (See upcoming classes or free form doll workshop for registration information).
To promote the workshop at the Art Centre I have created this board for the display case with the various parts needed to make a fibre figure. Materials include; florist wire, pipe cleaners, strips of foam and fabric, beads, buttons, yarn, threads, and assorted doodads. Notice too the words in the bottom right hand corner.
The figures created are a form of visual poetry and are meant to personify a quality rather than represent a human as most art dolls do.The next blog will showcase a doll created for the case that will illustrate better what I mean.
