Teaching Finders Keepers at Blue Haze in Chesham, Bucks

Finders Keepers class at Blue Haze in Chesham, Bucks UK

Friday 5th & Saturday 6th February 2010
10am to 4pm
Class Fee - £100 for a 2 day course

This little imp is a bit of thief! She just can’t help stealing stuff from humans. With a pen clutched in her tail and her pockets stuffed full, she also carries some pilfered booty on her back in her upturned hands. Finders Keepers hands are perfect for holding your business cards, recipe cards or a treasured photo.

This class covers drawing and sculpting a face as well as wiring and shaping a simple mitten hand. Finders Keepers’ body is then created with a wire armature that is wrapped to create a realistic body shape. Those students wishing for a more relaxing and simple class can keep the body proportions of their doll to the standard of the 13” sample doll, while students seeking more of a challenge can alter the body proportions of their doll to suit.

The methods learnt in this class are invaluable as the same method of body construction can be adapted to use with any doll head and hands, including cloth or clay.

Please note, that there is a small amount of “homework” to be done before the class – just sewing up the head and hands so we can begin the class with face drawing and sculpting and get that part done right away. Also be prepared that unless you are a super speedy doll maker it is unlikely that you will complete the entire doll in class but you will be given complete instructions for every little detail of this doll, so you can keep to your own pace and enjoy the class.

Bookings are now being taken, (non-refundable deposit of £25)
Bookings must be paid for by 15th January 2010.
