Now for something completely different! Do you need more tranquility, abundance, wisdom, strength, comfort, creativity, patience, or intuition?
Healing dolls, also known as spirit or intention dolls, are here to help. Charming folk-art dolls carry ancient cultural or spiritual meaning, and each doll is as unique as the vision of its creator.
You will create your own cherished doll from simple materials and your personal intention. We use polymer clay to create the face, either from a mold or hand-built.

Already know the basics of casting or fusing and want to make a project? Open Studio gives each student the opportunity to work independently in a world class studio. Tuition includes a kiln firing per session, clear base glass and colored scrap glass, use of studio tools.
