Where To Go To Learn To Make A Papier Mache Folk Art Doll

Folk Art, papier mache dolls from the 1700's and 1800's are fascinating to me.   I love the forgiveness of the process.   The paperclay as well as the painting of the doll head can be reworked, changed, redone over and over again.   If you are interested in the process of this wonderful art here is a list of resources.
