Rebecca Roth of Original Friends Dolls will present her story of creating her beautiful fabric dolls and teaching women in Mexican prison her craft. Women in prison earn very little money from prison jobs, so Rebecca began a sewing workshop to make dolls to sell. The women learn to make and then decorate the dolls with their own individual style. Each doll is hand painted and no two look alike. Over 2000 dolls have been created and sold. Rebecca sells the dolls for the creators and then buys incidentals and necessities for the prison women.
Rebecca will describe her journey of inventing this creative opportunity for prison women.
