Added : ( Sun Aug 22 2004 )

Julia Sherman, Leading Medical author has embarked on a well hidden talent.
" Dollmaking seems so comic to some. But it's an old hobby that has taken me into a new era. Anthropology."
Dolls have a long history that are often overlooked because they are simply to most people; dolls.
" This book is a first and hopefully fun book. It has history, and images, complete patterns and instructions for making your own version of a doll that is slowly being lost. I make them from sawdust clay. But cloth is a much easier medium to have fun with. And you can make them as big as you want."
When asked about the use in school
"The history and information contained in the first half of the book is where we teach kids and adults that dolls have origins and history and that they are often part and parcel of culture other than being what we consider playthings, or dolls".
Available in a PDF format the teachers can print out one section at a time and make it affordable alternative and combination calsses for art. Culture studies and home ec as well as theatre crafts.
