Bruce Patrick Jones had an excellent idea when he came up with the Artists Sweatshop: Have participants come up with ideas for a theme on which six paper doll artists would create a paper doll and outfits within one hour; six people at each artist's table would also lend a hand in the creation, and one would win a prize if their theme was selected. The three-hour workshop was a big hit: it combined a hands-on experience with the privilege of watching an artist at work, too! Themes included the Statue of Liberty and Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers. Above: a snappy dress by Marsha King.
