Students will make unique, personalized dolls using paper patterns, embroidery, glue, and felt. This doll making activity allows each student to be creative in their own way, as if they were designing clothes for themselves. They will have the opportunity to create more than one design and collaborate with their peers.

Meet the Instructor: Jenny Pickens
Jenny Pickens is a self-taught artist from Asheville, NC. At a very young age she had a love for drawing and crafting with her hands. Pickens’s work extends across several mediums, including pencil, pen and ink, pastels, oils. fiber arts. pottery, and jewelry, but her medium of choice is acrylics. You can find her paintings at Noir Collective AVL located downtown in the Historical Black Business District known as the Block. Her handcrafted dolls can be found at The Big Crafty events. Her work has been featured in local galleries, several newspapers, and magazines such as Readers Digest, Asheville Made, and The Laurel of Asheville. Pickens says her paintings and crafts are related to her cultural background and that is something she never wants to lose.
