Paper doll artists and collectors!
If you live in the tri-state area, and miss gathering with fellow artists and collectors, we have an excellent opportunity to meet in person once a month starting in March 2025.
The Ridgewood Public Library is making space available to us at no cost. You don’t have to live in the Bergen County, NJ, area to participate in the program, which would offer three hours of paper doll crafting with a dress-a-doll—which means you’d have a chance to bring in a doll and take home new outfits for whatever figure you choose: paper doll, advertising figure or comic strip character.
The library is eager to host our group, thanks to one of their librarians: Mary Sienkiewicz, whose paper doll art you might have in your collection under the name Mary Lacro.
The library is a modern facility with a comfortable conference room that accommodates 12 people or an art studio that can hold more. There’s ample free parking, and for anyone taking mass transit from New York City, the library is easily accessible by New Jersey transit trains (from Penn Station, with a change at Secaucus). The Ridgewood train station is a short walk to the library.
Ridgewood is an easy walkable town with a ton of cafes and restaurants, although the library allows people to bring goodies into the conference room, and a mini kitchen will allow us to serve tea and coffee.
I hope you will join us to keep our favorite hobby alive and draw in new members to the paper doll community.
