Ugly Dolls Workshop: It's OK to Be Different

Design and Make Your Own Unique Plush Toy! (2-day workshop)

Truth: We debated long and hard whether anybody would sign up for an Ugly Dolls workshop because well… who wants to make ugly things?

If you read into the story Ugly Dolls though, you will see that its about free-spirited characters who confront what it means to be different, struggle with a desire to be loved, and ultimate celebrate who you truly are.

This message is so important, especially in this time of Instagram perfection that we absolutely want to run this Ugly Dolls workshop!

We will share stories from books and discuss why we all have our differences and how these make us collectively stronger and more interesting! Your child will  then design his or her own doll and write its back story, before bringing it to life with a sewing machine!

We will introduce the fundamentals of using a sewing machine (hurrah for the makers from Fashion MakerSpace) and your child will learn how to construct and sew his own plush toy!

This is a great programme for siblings to attend together, with each of them expanding on their individual creativity within a structured programme.
