Do you remember the adorable kitsch angels of Christmas past with cute doll faces, fluffy blonde hair and giant gold wings? Think of this as her evil step sister.
In this workshop host Jennifer Perkins will dig in her stash of vintage doll parts to bring a selection of heads for you to choose from and make your own kitsch witch. There will also be lots of fun fabric, trim and sequin choices to make the perfect spooky dress. These witches look great on the top of your Halloween tree or sitting pretty on a shelf.
In class we will talk about how to assemble the dolls, basics of attaching fabric to various surfaces and where to souce parts when you want to go home and create an entire coven.
Plan Your Own Ladies’ Art Night!
Looking for a unique girls’ night out or a creative way to celebrate a birthday, bachelorette party, or just an evening with friends? Host your own private art night at Figment Creative Labs in South Austin!
Our Ladies’ Art Nights are a fun and flexible alternative to traditional paint-and-sip classes. Rather than copying the same painting, your group gets to explore your own creativity with a customized project — from painting to journaling to mixed media crafts.
Here’s how it works:
- $150 covers your group of 4 participants
- $30 per additional guest
- 2-hour workshop led by a professional instructor
- All art supplies included
- BYOB welcome — bring snacks, drinks, and your favorite people!
We’ll help tailor the project to your group’s interests — whether you’re into watercolor, collage, or something totally outside the box. Events are typically held on Friday or Saturday evenings (6–8 PM), but we’re happy to coordinate a time that works best for your group.
