Maurine Adrezin
... Faculty of Dolls & Fiber Instructor |
 |
My name is Maurine Adrezin. I live in Las Vegas, Nevada with my
husband, Allen. We have three married children and six
grandchildren.
Since I was very young, I have enjoyed the fiber arts: weaving,
macramé, sewing, embroidery, crewel, machine knitting and
quilting.
|
I made my first cloth doll and mohair teddy bear while living in
Melbourne, Australia. When I returned to America I continued
making cloth dolls and teddy bears. I took numerous on-line
classes and attended workshops to learn different techniques and
have won many blue ribbons for my dolls. I also developed a
love of both needle and wet felting. I now design my own dolls
and weave the fabric for their clothes.
I have been awarded the honor of being selected as a Juried
member of the Pennsylvania Guild of Craftsmen and am also a
member of the American Academy of Doll Artists. I belong to the
“Las Vegas Silver Doll-ers” Doll Club and “Fanciful Fibers”, a
doll club in Sun City Summerlin, Las Vegas, Nevada, "Southern
Nevada Weavers and Spinners Guild" and have been published in
“Soft Dolls & Animals”, "500 Handmade Dolls", “Art Doll
Quarterly”, "Doll Crafter and Costuming" March 2009 and several
newspapers.
I have been designing my own patterns and have been teaching
cloth dollmaking. Most of these classes incorporate simple
weaving techniques. On the following pages are some of the
dolls and bears that I have made, the fabrics that I have woven,
and the projects that I've done with my grandchildren.
I hope you enjoy looking at them. |
