On January 14th Colleen Athens and I packed up our sculpting Gear and Drove to Quakertown PA , for a fun and educational 2 day Doll Sculpting workshop on the 16th and17th With Molly Stanton .The Workshop was held at Molly's Cozy home studio ,about a 20 min drive from our Hotel .We stoped to pick up a light lunch on our way . We arrived a few min before 11 am ,the starting time and were happy to see a fellow sculptor and friend Dea had already arrived for the workshop . Thank you Dea for turning us on to Molly and Her work !
Here are a few of the 45 photos I took during the Class .I hope you enjoy them , and that they inspire you to take a workshop with Molly ,she not only teaches doll sculpting but Dragons and creatures too! The Workshop was worth the trip I know I will be traveling to Quakertown again to sculpt with Molly .
I have Fabric , hair and embellishments picked out for her costume ,and have started Jazzing up the wired wings molly provided us with .I have also started to paint slippers on the feet Molly made for all of us .So it shouldn't be too long before I post photos of a finished Doll .

Lucky you and Colleen! Looks like a fantastic class. Will she come to NJ and do doll club?
Hi Heather, I am so glad that you enjoyed Molly's class. It was wonderful to see you and Colleen again. I thought your work was beautiful and so smooth. I can't wait to see the finished doll. Molly is a treasure. She is so knowledgeable and able to teach in an easy and fun manner. I love it that our individual creativity is left intact and each of our dolls will look different. I look forward to reading your blog and learning about your creative journey. Dea
Hi Heather! Nice work (as usual) on the doll! Sounds like you and Colleen had a great time. Congratulations on the blog - it looks great.
WOW!! She looks fantastic...her face was great right from the start...I think the technique we learned in class is "Your" technique! I on the other hand, just cant do it that way!!! I have to face that I am an "adder"...!!! haha Cant wait to see her wigged and clothed...LETS GET MOVING!!! Love Colleen
