About Lolly Yocum

Lolly Yocum is a distinguished doll artist known for her mastery in cloth dolls, often describing her work as "textile alchemy"-transforming flat pieces of fabric into expressive dolls. With a background influenced by seamstresses in her family, she began her journey making doll clothes and later expanded into doll creation, working in various mediums including papier-mâché and polymer clays, though she remains primarily drawn to cloth.
