Tiny Jane Workshop!

Join Sarah Marsom and Dumbarton House for a hands-on workshop about the Tiny Activist Project, which highlights the lesser known stories of activists who fought to save cultural resources. This workshop features the Tiny Jane Doll, inspired by Jane Jacobs, an urbanist and activist who sought to make strong communities and economies in modern cities.

The program will include a short presentation from Sarah on the history of the historic preservation movement as well as a craft workshop. Participants who purchase a doll kit can follow along as Sarah puts together her Tiny Jane doll. Doll kits will be available for shipping and local pickup for attendees in the DC area. Pickup will take place at Dumbarton House between April 30th and May 3rd. Due to current shipping delays, Dumbarton House cannot guarantee the on-time arrival of delivery craft kits. Workshop attendees have the exclusive opportunity to stitch their own limited edition Tiny Jane dolls, which will not be available for sale. Stay tuned for the grand reveal of her dress color!

Please note this is a virtual program. There is no in person component at Dumbarton House. Attendees will receive a Zoom link with their ticket confirmation email from Ticketleap. Join on a computer or tablet for the best viewing experience.
