To discuss donations of handmade & antique dolls, dollmaking materials, doll-related books, memorabilia, ephemera, and more please use the contact form or email me at wanett@sownbrooklyn.com.
I’m primarily interested in amassing and constructing dolls which show the breadth of doll form, make and physicality. For the (eventual, official) teaching and research collection, condition is unimportant. Consideration for dolls which are not handmade or antique will be decided on a case-by-case basis but will likely happen at a later date when I have sufficient storage space.

Dolls of interest include but are not limited to:
-Black dolls of all forms and makeup
-wooden forms
-leather bodied dolls
-dolls composed of recycled materials (gloves for hands, socks for bodies, etc)
-jointed dolls of all materials
-doll pincushions or thimbles/other sewing tools
-traditional/cultural dolls

 Dollmaking materials might include but are not limited to:
-ceramic & other doll parts
-stuffing materials
-textiles
-armature materials
-millinery supplies
-wood for carving
-carving tools
-patterns

Not sure if what you have applies, ask me anything! Nothing to donate but you want to support, buy me a “tea”.

Collection Policy:
I hope that you trust me with your donations! It is my intention to collect dolls, ephemera and supplies, etc for cataloging and use in study and teaching and to utilize any supplies when leading workshops and in my own practice.
