Priscilla is an experienced doll maker designer and teacher who had two very popular classes at the last Doll-O-Rama. Students this time will learn techniques for realistic face drawing and colouring in either the one day brooch face class or the two day class making a new doll called "Celebration".

Priscilla has a keen interest in sewing and embellishment techniques, the history of fashion and especially how these can be incorporated into new cloth doll designs. Her dolls are well proportioned and her patterns are clear and easy to follow.
