Are you interested in creating art dolls for personal healing
Whether you’re a beginner or have prior experience, learning
a variety of techniques for crafting healing art dolls are mmensely beneficial. In this class series, you'll acquire a diverse set of skills and techniques that you can draw upon as you delve deeper into the inner work of making art dolls in Barb Kobe's book The Healing Doll Way. The focus will be on mastering these techniques and understanding the language of healing art dolls, providing you with the foundation needed to enhance your creative journey. A healing art doll is a deeply personal creation that embodies
the maker's life, stories, emotions, and creative journey. The more thought, emotion, and intuition invested in the design and construction, the more profound and evocative the response--both for the maker and, often, for viewers. Crafting a healing art doll can facilitate shifts, transformations, or personal healing as defined by the maker. Sharing a healing art doll with a group, including the story and emotions behind it as well as the maker’s process, enriches the doll’s meaning and strengthens its connection to both the maker and the group. A maker of healing art dolls is some who: - Is curious about using healing dolls as tolls for personal healing and transformation - Is willing to explore, investigate, and contemplate emotional expressions, beliefs, values, and life experiences. - Embraces her vulnerability and engages with her creative energies. - Takes creative risks and focuses on exploration rather than perfection |
