Frankendolly Workshop - Parts is Parts
Presented by Herr Doctor
Saturday, October 30, 8:30 – 10am - click here to register
This workshop is not for the faint-of-heart! Bring two or more of your 16” nude fashion dolls to this experience, and learn how to swap bodies, limbs, heads, etc. to customize your old fashion dolls into new additions to your collection. CAUTION: This workshop involves deconstruction of the nude doll into parts, and re-using those parts into your own creation – few dolls will survive the process…bwaahaahaahaa!!! Workshop is free but limited to 24 attendees.


Pick Your Brain Workshop - Re-roots for the Bodiless
Presented by Vidal Zombie
Saturday, October 30 3:15 – 5pm - click here to register
Got lots of time on your hands…and idle fingers waiting for a new project?  Well, look no further! With the right needle in hand and a heated vinyl head, you can use a variety of synthetic and natural fibers to create unbelievable re-rooted hair for your dolls. Highlight a small spot, or create streaks…or, for those with that extra time, do a whole head!  The process involves prepping a pre-rooted head, heating techniques, and straight-forward stitch/knot techniques - all taught in this class.  Attendees will receive a workshop kit with basic instructions, needle, saran fiber (enough to get started), and a doll head. Cost is $15 for supplies and is limited to 24 attendees. Attendees are required to bring a pair of tweezers and a pair of needle-nose pliers.
