Class Experience

In this 4 day camp students will craft sweets and treats for their dolls while having fun socializing with the other students. Students will work on the projects along with me, but it's also about the socializing.  If you don't have time to gather the supplies they can still join and just watch and learn how to craft the various items and have fun talking with the other...

This class is taught in English.

Students will learn motor skills, following step by step directions, and crafting basics while crafting for their dolls and socializing with their peers.

My daughter and I love American Girl dolls yet our budget does not. So we enjoy crafting all kinds of items for her dolls. I have been a crafter for over 25 years.
