Christmas arrived early with a
very
special gift for Santamaker Members!
Our very first and special "guest chat" was with Doll Artist Jack
Johnston on Tuesday, November 5, 2002. I couldn't possibly think of a
better way to kick off the very beginning of the Santamaker's
scheduled chats!
The Managers of the
Santamaker's Community would like to thank all of you that attended
the chat with Jack Johnston.
Thanks to everyone, the chat ran smoothly, was fun, informative and a
great success! Seems like we all walked away learning something!

not attend the chat, you can still view the

A very special
thank you to Jack Johnston for taking time out of his busy
schedule, to answer all the questions that were posed to him!

"In
only ten years, Jack Johnston, professional marketer turned dollmaker,
rose from an unknown to one of the industries' brightest stars,
astonishing doll artists and collectors worldwide with his nearly
instantaneous success. His talent and artistic ability transcend every
aspect of dollmaking. Jack also possesses the unique ability to pass
on to others completely and successfully that which he has mastered."
According to Doll Crafter and Contemporary Doll Collector
magazines... Jack Johnston is one of the nation's leading instructors
in sculpting one-of-a-kind artdolls. He offers
sculpting seminars each
week at different locations around the nation. During these three day
seminars students complete one-of-a-kind dolls, plus receive the
knowledge of how to make their own original artdolls.
Due
out in Feb. 2003: "Artdolls - Basic
Sculpting and Beyond" Jack's new 144 page book will cover basic
sculpting through advanced and on to marketing. The techniques shown
within this book are the latest in one-of-a-kind polymer sculpting.
Three hundred photographs and illustrations show the student artist
how to sculpt, paint, dress, accessorize, display and market an
artdoll.
