CLOTH MARROTTE

 

   Once upon a time Court Jesters were employed by kings all over the world. Tradition was that he who held the Jester Scepter, or Marrotte to the French, was to entertain the royal family and their guests in any way possible, such as music, story telling, juggling, riddles and ways we can only imagine. In this way, the Jester distracted those he entertained from the worries and concerns at hand, and became as cherished as any family member. Use your Jester Scepter to entertain by passing it guest to guest to continue a story. If one cannot continue as story teller he must entertain in another fashion.

May all worries and concerns vanish as you hold your Jester Scepter.  

   This head on a stick is available as a workshop that will help students learn  just stuffing is not enough! Needle sculpted features, enhanced by color, highlights and shading will create the character of your choice from several different head options. Embellishing the head with hair, hats or head wraps and  imagination will complete each one of a kind Marrotte. This class will require intermediate sewing machine skills as well as hand sewing and is suitable for all doll makers. With pre-sewing this workshop may be completed in one day.
