Past Chat Guest

Jack Johnston
Original Art Dolls 

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!

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.
