Articulated Paper Dolls with Hannah Batsel
Saturday, July 26, 2025
12pm to 3pm
About the Workshop
In Articulated Paper Dolls, students will learn how to design and construct their own jointed paper dolls that can move and emote. While these dolls are great for play, their full range of motion also makes them perfect for stop motion animation, puppetry, and book arts. Students will leave the class with their own custom, fully-jointed characters.
