Welcome to The Midwinter Doll Teddy and Craft Festival
The Event is based on promoting New Zealand Artists who make Excellent Dolls,Teddy Bears and Accessories.
Our mission statements are :
- To deliver a pathway and focal point for collectors of Dolls , Bears and Collectables to gather together for the purpose of trading and learning
- To Promote and encourage New Zealanders to pursue their collective skills of Arts and Crafts and the do it yourself attitude that is so strong within our New Zealand Culture
- To Encourage Regeneration and relearning of past eras of arts and crafts so they will not be lost
This year our theme is ''GALLERY OF STARS'', we intend to invite many Doll and Teddy Bear makers to exhibit their wonderful creations at our show . We feel that many of these items have only been on view once when they were shown in their various events over the years, so we want them to come out from the display cabinets, get dusted off and come out on show again, we will be delighted to have them all with us this year.
D'Lyell Bears will be there with their amazing bears once again.
We also have Kympatti Bears with us again this year from Brisbane Australia.
And we especially welcome Geri Williams from the U.S.A. with her wonderful work
Joining us again this year will be Zawieruszynski Originals, and our New talent on the Sculpted Doll scene the very clever Ruth Hay of R and H Dolls
Ruth has been achieving wonderful results in all her shows entered and is someone to watch,she also makes the most cute and clever tiny collectables.
We will once again be running Raffles for our charity Child Cancer Foundation ( Auckland)
WE LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU AT THE SHOW
