Workshops

After this workshop you will never need costume patterns again! Adele shared her secrets for selecting fabric, trim types and colour harmony, in order to create a well balanced, “designer” doll costume. Students learned the invaluable art of draping, as well as the technique for customizing sleeves and upper and lower body pieces. Just think … no sketching, no drafting, no pre-sewing of patterns; just the desired final results. It is a priceless step-by-step process that anyone can learn. Adele even promised a student fashion show at the end of class along with a few other surprises.

Adele Scirotino is a transplanted New Orleans native, who currently resides in Montreal. She is a Fine Arts graduate, but her strong artistic abilities are also a result of creative generations before her. Adele has been immersed in art doll making for ten years and has achieved a high level of excellence through her interaction with fellow artists and master teachers. Adele’s art dolls have garnered numerous awards and her creations have appeared in many doll publications. More recently, her works are being accepted and displayed by fine art galleries throughout North America.
