Mixed Media Art Class at GAC

Worry dolls are small, handmade dolls that originate from the highland indigenous people of Guatemala.  According to legend, when worrying keeps a person awake, he or she tells a worry to as many dolls as necessary.  Then the worrier places the dolls under his or her pillow.  The dolls take over the worrying for the person who then sleeps peacefully throughout the night.  When morning breaks, the person awakens without the worries that the dolls took away during the night.  We’ll make these enchanting dolls using a variety of sustainable materials, including traditional Guatemalan fabrics.  All materials provided.  Fee payable with tuition $12.00.
