Don't Worry, Doll

Creation of Worry Dolls to Soothe Anxiety

Originally from South America (Guatemala), worry-dolls are handmade miniatures. Legend has it that Guatemalan children share their worries with the dolls, and place them under a pillow before bed. At dawn, the dolls give children wisdom and knowledge and free them from their worries.
The dolls are made of recycled iron wires and textiles and are usually dressed in traditional clothes that characterize the Mayan culture. Their size ranges from 1-7 cm so they can be kept inside the palm.
In the workshop, we gather around a large table to create worry-dolls based on the cultural style of each participant.

Number of Participants: 4-20
