wanna teach a class?

We are always looking for new instructors here at The Trodden Path. If you think you have something to teach, please contact me with a brief summary (can be one sentence) and a photo sample of what you are talking about.

To present your class you'd just need to show how you made a project from start to finish (via video), provide a supplies list and a photo of the finished project.

The atmosphere is fun and friendly and you don't have to be perfect...just open and willing.

Where are they, those little tiny pieces, those moments in time, those snipits.  Find the threads, the scattered scraps, the left overs.  Gather them together.  Don't let them go. Go to your loom and weave the…

Miles away from you



This battle has taken it’s toll in blood and time

cloth and clay dolls workshop

we have recently merged the cloth and clay doll ning group with the trodden path!

 

it is for art doll makers and those interested in giving it a try

if you are transferring from the ccd you will be able to join this group for free because you have already paid in the past. 

new members pay only $50 (crazy good deal)

about

cloth and clay dolls started out as a small workshop held on a blog in 2008. it was originally set up as a 30 day class, but after a few of those, i found that members wanted to continue sharing their doll-making with one another so, we moved to ning.

there are now hundreds of awesome doll-makers, all with a style of their own! the original cloth and clay doll workshop is a perfect beginners class to get you started on this fun journey.

 expect to have lots of tutorials with the main one being the original cloth and clay doll workshop.
