What is a Memory Doll?

Memories can be good or bad. They help us look back to see where we came from and where we are going. This is an extraordinary time in our lives. To live through a pandemic is something unique and you will want to remember what it was like. What about it has changed your life for the worse or, the better.  

This workshop is about creating a three-dimensional doll (or a sculpture) that holds memories of this spring and summer, just like a diary or a time capsule. What secrets do you want to embed? What memories do you want to secure for the future you?
