Workshops

Learn the skills involved in dollmaking for yourself.

“What is made with love by hands,
Inspired by the heart,
feeds your soul,
and is transformed to pure joy"

All handcrafted gifts have that special quality about them that the receiver will sense around the item. Something specially made , just for you, speaks of warmth of heart from the maker to the receiver and makes such a gift a treasure.

“In every stitch a loving thought” is what is “sewn” into the doll and the child will perceive this warm loving energy imbued in the doll. A very special gift indeed…
