ART-DOLL CHRONICLE WORKSHOP

    This two day workshop introduced a wide range of traditional and contemporary doll making ideas, techniques and experiments. The dolls made were unique and personal. Using found materials, collage, fabric transfers, beading, appliqué and sculptural forms each doll reflected a particular theme ranged from sexuality, mothering, childhood memories and or mythic and power images. Participant doll makers become part of the Art Doll Chronicles Project. This project is based on a similar one initiated by Catherine Moore in the United States. Each ‘becoming’ doll traveled to each of the other doll makers intern to receive their contribution to ‘its’ growing personality. Accompanying each doll was a journal/chronicle of her exploits, the ideas each maker was inspired by and exploring…each chronicle become a work of art in itself.
