Traditional Dolls - Part 1
The tradition of doll-making goes way back—Kumeyaay people made cloth dolls as children’s toys. In her autobiography, Delfina Cuero remembers constructing dolls from rags, stuffing them, and using sticks for legs. Eva Salazar (Kumeyaay) will guide the participants in making cloth dolls with a willow bark skirt and a basket hat. No sewing experience is necessary.
This is a two-day class; participants must attend both days.
