Intro Queen Ann wooden dolls date back to the Early 18th ( 1700s) century and late 18th century( 1780-1790_. Often considered the Georgian era. Named after King George and Queen Consort Charlotte. Queen Ann dolls became the rage after Queen Ann took the throne. It was a time when Clothing and playthings were becoming more common and different versions were used for either plaything or a form of “catalog” for fashion. It was because of their use as a fashion mannequin as we are accustomed to today they could also be listed as Milliners or model dolls. These dolls however are a more elaborate style of peg wooden or Groderntal style doll. Hand carved and finished with layers of white paint to represent skin colors and glass eyes were inset to simulate the belladonna style eye of the time. Today only a few actually survive in museums and private collections around the world. Those who can afford them often rarely experience playing with them as did children of the time they were made. Doll history is interesting and gives us a glimpse into the past as to what we wore, how we acted and what was the norm of the time. These pieces of social history are a way for us to connect with our past just as the Barbie would be representation in the future of what we considered a “ norm” of today. Just imagine How our great grand children would feel holding a Barbie? How would they interpret what the Barbie represents. This class is designed to take you beyond the “ doll thing”. But into fashion or costume dress, customs (beauty marks and decoration) history. Consider what the world was doing at the time these dolls existed. And begin to interact with these parts of history in a modern sense. That is making a remarkable wood like version from Polymer clays or fun versions from Model Magic.
