Dolls have been a part of our collective world histories for centuries. Both loved and feared, dolls are cherished toys and collectibles, home decorations, collectibles, and even homes to our ancestors. In this chat, Heather will review our fascination with dolls including cultural trends and traditions from the beautiful to the scary. She will then share the nature of dolls from an animist's view point demonstrating how dolls can be part of our magical and spiritual lives. From the simple poppet and the haunted antique to the popular Barbie doll, Heather will discuss the living experience of the doll and how to work with it. You might even meet a few new friends along the way.
