Preserve Black Doll making as an art form by attending the Doll Making workshop Black Doll Making is an act of historic preservation. With each generation of new doll makers, comes an archive of important art making. Let’s start with one of the simplest, yet most fulfilling methods this Saturday, the Wrap Dolls. These are traditionally made with found items, like twine or old clothes and rags, wrapped around a gourd. ...
