Pamela Hastings
Pamela has been playing with dolls and various fiber and paper art media since she was five—over 50 years. She does not always teach in the traditional Western, step-by-step way, with a similar finished product for all participants, but she likes to think that by using her own low-key style, and making herself available to each student, she is able to elicit even more of the wisdom that is available in a group of students as a whole, and in each student individually, to discover her/his own unique design process and bring it to fruition in a personally-significant doll, book, or object.
Pamela does also know a lot of techniques for working with fiber, paper and mixed media and has had a lot of problem-solving experience. She is very generous with sharing these as well. Her training as an occupational therapist helps her to adapt projects and classes to the needs of each student.
Her work has been published in many magazines, 3 of Suzanna Oroyan’s books, 2 of the FIBERARTS Design books, MAKING CREATIVE CLOTH DOLLS and ARTFUL PAPER DOLLS from Lark press, in four of her own books to date, and has been seen in galleries and museums in North America and Great Britain. She teaches internationally online and in person. See more at her website: http://www.pamelahastings.com
