Doll - Jenny Doll | C2 Centre for Craft

Winnipeg born Judy Pilgrim Stewart began creating dolls in her early childhood. Made in 1974 for the Winnipeg Centennial, this doll wears a dress of wool, hand woven by Doris King, with Manitoba crocuses embroidered on the bodice. Her collar is made of tatted lace, made by Elise Billyand, and the edge of her skirt was crocheted by Elizabeth Wiebe. Judy Stewart’s series of Jenny Dolls are named after her daughter of the same name.

The C2 Centre for Craft is located in what we now know as Manitoba, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Dene, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Inuit Peoples, and the national homeland of the Red River Métis. These lands include territory subject to Treaties 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10.

Craft occupies a space that has the hand and the handmade at its centre. It rejoices in sharing knowledge and solving problems. It stems from, creates, and nurtures community. It allows us to build bridges through shared action, but also fosters courage, empathy, and connection.

We acknowledge the deep harm caused by settlement, and we look forward to using craft in our efforts towards reconciliation and positive change.
