Programme:

Join us for a fascinating journey into the world of Japanese Friendship Dolls, presented by renowned ningyô expert Alan Scott Pate. In this captivating program, we’ll discover the remarkable story behind these exquisite dolls, created as symbols of friendship and cultural exchange between Japan and the United States.

Through Alan’s extraordinary knowledge and passion for Japanese dolls, we’ll explore their history, artistry, and enduring legacy. This is a wonderful opportunity to experience the beauty and cultural significance of these treasured dolls. It is a program not to be missed by doll enthusiasts, collectors, and lovers of history alike.

Invitation:
We’re forming a new pan-European UFDC online club. Our three meetings so far have welcomed members joining from Germany, France, the UK, Romania, Belgium, Austria, Canada, and the US.

That diversity was reflected in the amazing variety of dolls everyone collects, from Roman/Greek “Ancients” to dolls made today—and in the wide range of expertise in the group too: collectors, repairers, makers, podcasters, costumers, and more.

If you’d like to be part of a connected, thriving European doll community—learning and sharing through Zoom meetings and (when possible) doll events across Europe—please let Carol Cameron know and join us for our next meeting on September 24th.
