Doll Making Workshop – March 24th

Join us for an all-day workshop at Edge Hill School to create an individual Waldorf doll from basic materials. Made of cotton knit fabric and wool stuffing and using techniques drawing on traditional European dollmaking, the Waldorf doll allows the child to improve or strengthen imagination and creativity. These dolls feel soft and warm!

The workshop is led by Dorothy Lind,  a veteran Waldorf homeschooling parent of over 20 years, creating her Waldorf materials along the way. She has taught grade 5 at Edge Hill School & was a summer Camp craft instructor at Aurora Waldorf School in New York. Dorothy ran “Gifts of the Goddess” gift shop in downtown Durham several years ago, and has led workshops for adults and children in doll-making, moccasin-making, hoop-drum construction, buckskin coat making, and assorted other craft and art workshops, both in Ontario and New York.

Cost: $65, includes all materials, payable by cash or cheque. Please register by calling 519.369.3195 and leaving your name and phone number. We’ll get back to you to confirm. This workshop is geared for those 14 and over. Children 13 and under require the help of a parent to participate in this session – both will be admitted for one workshop fee and will receive materials for one doll.

The class is Saturday, March 24th  from 9:30 am to 4 pm at Edge Hill School, Concession 2 north of Edges Side road
