Papier Workshop

I had nine very enthusiastic students in my class in Chennai(Madras). They seemed to have had great fun even though the time ran out for completing their dolls. They went satisfied that they had learnt some fun stuff in the doll making class. Here are some photos that I want to share with you.

Some of these ladies had never made any dolls before so they really had fun stitching and stuffing and learning the basics.
One very talented lady busy stitching away.

They all just jumped in with enthusiasm

Nearly there and they were very creative with the paper clothing.
I am hoping they will send me photos of the completed dolls soon.

Hi Shashi! Most people are having trouble posting comments here, but I'm going to try! What fun these ladies were having and didn't they do a great job? I love this pattern of yours....one of your best I think, and your prototype is sooooo beautiful! I'm glad you had such fun on your trip, but we're glad to have you with us again!

Sounds like your class was a great success, Shashi, and that you all had lots of fun! The doll you made for it is so beautiful. I can't believe I missed the post where you showed her before you left!! She is so graceful and feminine, and she definitely inspired your students! I'm sure they were thrilled to bits with all you taught them.

I am back and utterly exhausted - but all went truly, truly well! Thank you for believing in me :)
