This class is applicable to all sizes and kinds of dolls.

An Afternoon with Robert Tonner: The Man Behind the Mask
By Robert Tonner
Saturday 3-4pm
Come spend a delightful hour with the man who started it all, and is responsible for the great joy we’ve discovered in Tonner dolls. Robert will give a spellbinding presentation, and you’ll be fascinated, entertained and captivated with his notions about dolls, fashion and collecting. As always, there will be a Q&A, so that you may ask the burning questions Robert so enjoys answering. Attending the seminar is free, but you must sign up for a ticket, because seating is limited. See you there!
