Fashion illustrations and playthings have been around for hundreds of years, but advances in printing saw an explosion of paper dolls in the 19th Century. Celebrity figures, boxed sets, and colour-it-yourself versions delighted both young and old. Following an illustrated lecture, conservator and doll enthusiast Kjerstin Mackie will help you create the kind of paper dolls Maisie and Katie Roscoe may have enjoyed at Ross Bay Villa. Children ages 8 and up and accompanied by an adult are welcome.
1:00 – 4:00 pm. Materials provided. $20 including refreshments.
