Teresa Churcher

Teresa is married with seven children ranging in age from 19 down to 2, and lives in the seaside town of Poole in Dorset.

She has been making dolls since 1991 and has acquired her own style and techniques. Each doll is made entirely of cloth, with cloth covered sculpted faces hand painted in acrylics.  The wigs are of mohair. The dolls have realistic shaped limbs jointed at the shoulders and hips.

All outfits, accessories and shoes are designed and made by the artist.  Many incorporate smocking, embroidery, shadow-work, etc.

The dolls depict young children from the 1920s, 30s, 40s, era and are either one-offs or part of small
editions.  Girls, boys and black children are available.

Commissions welcomed.
