Affirmation Doll Workshop

  • Louisville Expressive Therapies 2518 Frankfort Avenue Louisville, KY, 40206 United States (map)

Class Description

Dolls have been used throughout the centuries for healing, in religious ceremonies, to teach and to entertain. Before mass manufactured dolls, women got creative with what was available – corn husks, rags, dried apples.  In like manner we will be creating dolls from modern day available materials: fabric, yarn and embellishments.

The doll we create will embody a favorite quote, affirmation or intention.  Once the doll is constructed (no sewing involved!), we’ll decorate, embellish and clothe the doll to our heart’s content. All supplies will be included, but feel free to bring a favorite button, hanky, piece of jewelry or other meaningful item to make the doll uniquely your own.
