Little Sparrow hosts craft classes too and offers over the counter ‘craft support’.
i founded my first business in 1993, Special Friends Dolls began with the first little doll “Sarah” which i made for my daughter, she still has her tucked away in her bedroom…she is 20 now.
my crafty art has been influenced by my journey as a steiner parent, taking me from life as a graphic designer to now a ‘waldorf dollmaker’ and shop owner of Little Sparrow…..quite an evolution!
i love teaching the art of waldorf dollmaking and have been running classes for the last 15 years….you could learn too, it’s not hard, really!My family and i live in North Caulfield too, here”s a little peek behind the scenes in my house!
