The Dollmaker's Choice Workshop
|
|
| Internationally known dollmaker, elinor peace bailey, from Vancouver, Washington, will present a dollmaking workshop, "The Dollmaker's Choice" at Waechter's on Thursday, March 18 from 9am - 4pm. Registration Fee is $75 plus pattern, fabrics and supplies. If you have never taken a class with elinor, you are in for a real treat. "A walking advertisement for fun" is how someone once described elinor peace bailey. With her bright clothing, outgoing nature, and lively sense of humor, it is obvious that elinor is not your "typical" sewing teacher. She is a globe-trotting teacher who also designs fabric and exercises her talent as a graphic artist on any stray surface she can find. While her background as a painter adds an extra element to her sewing and designing, it's her sense of humor that makes her classes the most fun her students ever had. Patterns will be available at Waechter's in mid-January. After selecting your choice of an epb doll pattern, students will spend the day learning the techniques and skills specific to their choice of pattern. Materials list is on the back of each pattern; available at Waechter’s in mid-January. In the meantime, you may view her patterns on her website: www.epb.com Register on-line or by calling 828-274-3146. |
