Little Laundress Workshop
![]()
I’m pleased as punch to share that I will be teaching a series of craft workshops this summer with a great shop in Venice, CA (as of June 1st) called Sweetpeas & Snapshots, a vintage inspired crafting emporium run by the incomparable Mary Smilove. You’re invited to join me on June 14th from 11am to 2pm for the ‘Little Laundress Workshop’, a hands-on tutorial reworking the vintage craft of clothespin dolls. I’ve designed this workshop along with a beautiful class kit containing all of the materials you’ll need to create four dolls - from their wooden frames to their painted features, including new and vintage materials & notions for the perfect outfits.
This class is open to participants ages eight and up - so if you have an older crafty kid with the attention span for a three hour project, this could be a great way to enjoy a Saturday together. Now don’t let this scare you grown-ups off - I promise this is not daycare disguised as a craft class! You’ll be surrounded by gorgeous materials in a fun atmosphere and encouraged to create a quartet of dollies as simple or elaborate as you please.The workshop is limited to fourteen so you’re encouraged to register quickly! Class fees are $65. per person or save by bringing a friend (or a kid or a grandkid!) - only $110. when you register two people. Call the Sweetpeas & Snapshots shop at 310-479-2444 to register.
Please note that the images above are examples of clothespin dolls shown to spark your imagination. However we want to note that they were created by artists who are not affiliated with Sweetpeas & Snapshots or this workshop. The first two photographs depict dolls created by the amazing Lolliop Workshop where you can purchase completed dolls and the bottom photograph depicts dolls created by Susan Van Horn of My Sweet Imaginations who also sell the sweetest completed dolls.
