I decided to offer the class one more time after receiving several requests for the class for those who missed the previous sessions. The pattern and class were developed by me after studying and documenting original antique Izannah Walker dolls personally for several years.
The pattern is inspired by Izannah Walker's work, but is not a copy of an Izannah Walker doll. My own Izannah Walker dolls have been recognized by Early American Life.
The class will run from April 1st through July 1st.
This work at your own pace class includes:
- PDF Ebook/pattern
- membership in the online classroom from April 1st through July
- a class message forum
- detail images of Izannah Walker dolls which have not been published
- other doll making resources
- Dixie's support through the class message forum
Skills needed: intermediate sculpting skills, intermediate sewing skills, prior doll making experience.
Note on skills needed: I have had some people take the class who had never sculpted or sewn before, but it's best if you have some doll making experience). It is your choice to take the class without these skills, but recognize that it might be harder for you.
You can join up until April 1st by paying the class admission fee below via Paypal. After I receive notification of your payment, I will send you an email invitation to the class site (which is hosted on ning.com). Be sure that you send me the email address you want to use for your class membership if it is different thanyour Paypal email address. Also, be sure to remember (write it down) your password, because this is not information I am privy to, it's between you and ning.com.
For those who have taken the class before, it is the same pattern.
Below are dolls made by members of the 2011 class:

Great news, Dixie! This is a golden opportunity for those who want to make an Izannah Walker doll. I have been amazed at the dolls that come out of this workshop. What an experience it has been for me. The dolls and the friends we have made will never be forgotten!
ReplyDeleteIt's true, Mary! We've made some really good friends during the class. :-) I love the direction you've taken with your own unique sculpts.
DeleteIt is really great news!!! :))
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Christianne - I hope you can join in. :-)
DeleteHow wonderful, Dixie! Thank you for sharing your Izannah Walker knowledge and talents with the world. ♥

Aw, Peanut, thanks for the comment. <3 :-)
DeleteI was thrilled to see that you are offering another course--I just shared it with my readers at www.binglebears.com. I also shared a photo of my doll made from your pattern. Our homeschool group is still plugging away at their dolls, but I must say that they are turning out lovely. They just have to finish the dolls' underclothing and dresses, and when they do, I'll send a whole batch of photos to you. If you would like photos of the work in progress to date, just email me to let me know.
ReplyDeleteWarmly,
Cheryl
