Express your creative self in this craft workshop in Denver where you will personalize an adorable cloth doll. You will first choose a doll from over 50 beautiful 100% cotton patterns and colors on their bodies, which will likely be the only hard thing to do in the whole workshop!
Then take your time over the next couple of hours picking "hair" from a dozens of options including yarns, ribbons, tulle, trims, rickrack, macrame cord, extensions, fabric strips, felt cutouts, etc. The dazzle is the patent that allows you to easily tuck, tie, twist, braid, weave the "hair" onto the doll's head, which I will demonstrate. You will also choose either a jacket or a vest for your creation, and embellish it with a vast choice of materials (buttons, fabric yoyos, felt appliques), all set out for you to peruse!
You will have as much hands-on or hands-off help as you like. Create and customize something completely unique to you!.You'll find joy in being able to craft something you love as you spend time with friends or family.
Friday through Sunday dates are on the calendar, but we can have this fun together also in the evenings and weekdays, just make a request!
Some workshop attendees described the experience like this:
" It was unique, creative and a world unto itself. The vibrant colors, textures and designs presented endless possibilities. Peggy, as the instructor, was fun and helpful while letting us decide on our own technique."
"Time flew by and each of us came out of the session happy with our unique creation that really reflected our individual style. So fun! Thank you, Peggy! "
"A transformative process for the heart, mind, and soul. Creating a Stafford Doll was a totally unique artistic experience, the memory of which, along with my lovely doll, I will treasure for the rest of my life."

Recent reviews of Cloth Doll Adornment Workshop

  • 5/5 from Kattrina White, attended Jul 2026: Peggy, the instructor was so kind and filled with ideas. I even felt special having a tour of the facility. There are so many fabrics, yarns, ribbons etcetera to choose from. Everyone leaves excited about their doll creations. Thank you so much.
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Schiefelbein, attended Jul 2026: My friend invited me to take this class with her and I'm so glad she did. I had so much fun and Peggy is a wonderful teacher. I had never done anything quite like this before so I was nervous how it would turn out, but Peggy made me feel so comfortable and confident that I could create something amazing. My doll turned out beautifully, because while Pretty gives gentle nudges, she really just lets you create something special on her wonderful canvas.
  • 5/5 from Rebecca Delisi, attended Jul 2026: Peggy was delightful. She helped and was clear with instructions. Just made the day fun.
  • 5/5 from Marie Jahne, attended Jun 2026: First off - Peggy, the creative force behind this class, is welcoming and helpful. She spent years perfecting this doll and how to adorn them, and it shows in the weight, squeezeability, and materials used to make them. I went with my friend and craft buddy, and once the dolls were picked out it was a journey of discovering who the doll is! The room is filled with ribbon, buttons, felt shapes, all kinds of things to bring out the personality of the doll. In the end we had two unique dolls. I just love my doll, and have plans to create a few different outfits. I knew this would be fun, but didn’t quite expect to love the doll so much!
  • 5/5 from Diana Ord, attended Apr 2026: I had so much fun at this class with my sister and niece! It was a great "girls day out" where we could use our creativity and bring home a lovely keepsake. I designed mine as a decor piece for a room in my home that needed a soft, warm and unique detail. A truly art-filled experience in an inspiring studio space!
  • 5/5 from Cynthia Ord, attended Apr 2026: This class was so fun and unique! Peggy was a great guide, helping when needed, but also letting the students find their own inner creativity. The finished dolls will be a cherished keepsake! Great for all ages!
  • 5/5 from Michelle Kaitlyn Polizzi, attended Dec 2025: We took my niece to this doll adornment workshop and she had SO much fun. She can't stop carrying her doll everywhere! Peggy's studio is so lovely and she did a wonderful job helping my niece express her creativity (but also stay on track) which, as someone who has worked with kids at camps, is honestly such a skill! I would love to come back and do this with my grown up friends — what a unique and pleasant and inspiring experience!
  • 5/5 from Davida Wright Galvin, attended Dec 2025: We were celebrating birthdays. We had a great time expressing ourselves through creating wonderful dolls. This is a great activity and you take home a beautiful souvenir! Peggy was a great host and creative guide. Thank you! I highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Patty, attended Dec 2025: What a fun way to celebrate a birthday and kick off the holiday season! What a blast. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Meg Harlow, attended Nov 2025: This was such a most anticipated day and it was beyond each of our best expectations for my granddaughter and her best friend. Peggy’s studio was so full of creative choices and so well accessible and organized, the girls had a wonderful day crafting their unique dolls. A fantastic experience!
  • 5/5 from Alexandria Kelly, attended Oct 2025: Loved this experience!!! The shop was so comfortable, clean, and I had a wonderful host walk me through the entire experience. I tapped into my artistic abilities and with the relaxing jazz music I was able to relax.
  • 5/5 from Blake Scheib, attended Oct 2025: Peggy is wonderful and provides the perfect amount of guidance to each participant. What a wonderful space to let creativity flow!
  • 5/5 from Jahala Walker, attended Mar 2025: I brought my mother in to make a doll and it was such a great experience seeing her create. Peggy is an amazing host and instructor. It is such a creative activity for adults and children alike. Certainly a good way to reconnect with your inner child and make something meaningful to you. Highly recommend!
  • 5/5 from Courtney Marshall, attended Mar 2025: I loved this workshop! Peggy’s space is so much fun. I’ve never considered myself a doll person, but I genuinely love this doll. It was therapeutic to design a doll that could be exactly my match, as I’ve never felt drawn to traditional dolls. She’s great. Peggy’s great. The whole experience was great. It brought me Joy, and so that’s what I named my doll. Thank you Peggy!
  • 5/5 from Carmelita Jaramillo, attended Mar 2025: Not just for doll enthusiasts or creatives, this wonderful class is for everyone! I didn't fancy dolls much as a child. I had a few but preferred to play with my bear stuffies instead. I didn't know about the magic that could be found in dolls. I have attended Peggy's wonderful workshop twice now. Both times I was swept up in the joy and freedom of play and creativity. Being a person who struggles with embodiment, the bold colors, the soft textures, the soothing sounds of jazz in Peggy's workshop were all potent ingredients for a blissful two hours of meditative flow. I felt so much calm, ease and tranquility while creating my Stafford Dolls. In so many ways both dolls are mirrors into unknown areas of my psyche. I have learned so much about myself in the process of both creating and owning these beautifully crafted dolls. They sit adjacent to my desk and are ever present companions providing inspiration and comfort. Peggy is a masterful facilitator. She lovingly guides you through the entire creative process and you are in charge of every last lovely detail from the hair, to adornments, and clothing of the doll. I would highly recommend this workshop to anyone who would like to connect to themselves and others. This creativity through play is magical and I can not say enough wonderful things about the workshop. Thank you Peggy for providing us with this amazing experience!
  • 5/5 from Pamela Walkehall, attended Mar 2025: Daughter invited me to make a doll. Picked out a doll and you get to make it any way you want. Peggy was amazing host she wants your creativity and imagination to shine. I really enjoyed the class.

I had a cloth doll from Appalachia growing up… and she dazzled me! So, I began making dolls 15 years ago as an alternative to the plastic doll market, where so much is predetermined. I wanted to create a new cloth doll that was open to the user's interpretation, play and imagination… for him or her to create their own wonder with their own doll.
Along the way, I developed a technique that allows for the infinite replacement of the hair, and was granted a USPTO patent in 2016.
Stafford dolls are 21” handmade cloth dolls in dozens of joyful, cozy fabrics, and stuffed with yarn for comforting huggability. Both adults and children delight in the scrumptious fabrics and the fantastic array of resources that can be used to style, cut and replace the hair.
All these years later, I now have my very own gorgeous studio space to invite others into to embellish their own doll. You may have no experience whatsoever in fabric arts, or you may be a master quilter; everyone will be free to use the bountiful array of embellishments for hair and clothes on their own, or with guidance/suggestions from me...and the others in the workshop! People love to collaborate, and the results thrill everyone, including me!
Stafford Dolls have no race or gender or story, except for the one the owner chooses, or not, to give their doll. Some go home as toys, some as decorative art, some are designed to be lovingly gifted.
I truly believe that most, if not all, of us are imaginative people who have scarce opportunity to express ourselves creatively. Stafford Dolls provide a delightful way to explore fun materials to design a doll for yourself, or as many do, for a friend, that is very special indeed.
Bring your friends or family along, young and older, for a truly memorable shared experience, and a huggable, joyful creation of your very own to take home.
