Bethan Rose - Brighton Celebration Sculpt

To celebrate the Brighton Doll Festival we decided to have the logo turned into a doll kit. Ceinwen Clarke, the organiser of the Festival and Hello Dolly approached Menna Hartog, a well respected sculptor and asked her to take on the task. The original photograph was taken from an old postcard but the face was so engaging and happy it just shouted out to be made into a doll kit.

Menna created a beautiful OOAK with such a close resemblance we were immediately convinced she had to be turned into a kit.

Prototypes have been distributed to Cassie Peek of Baby Dust Nursery, Shirley Atkins of Sugar Plum Nursery, Lisa Pybus of Best Beloved Nursery and Karen Balogh Williams the winner of the Prototype competition.
