Upcoming Events
Our May demonstration is Cynthia Carden. Cynthia creates from her home studio in Spartanburg, South Carolina. Her pyrographic work is elegant and distinctive, combining coloring in unusual and beautiful ways. Along with her line of dolls, Cynthia has collaborated with noted Internationally recognized woodworking artisans. ”I am enchanted by the aesthetic of wearable art and fashion design.” Cynthia says. “The arts of Asia strongly influence my work. Creating personality and expression through embellishment brings great satisfaction.”
Cynthia affectionately acknowledges the help and support of dear friends, notably Dale Larson, Binh Pho, Cindy Drozda, Sandy and Tom Davis, Madelyn Molina and Mark Hancock throughout her journey creating The Amazing Dolls Collection.
