The Hush Harbor of Black Dolls The Black Doll Symposium at Duke University felt like a modern hush harbor—a gathering of artists, historians, collectors, and makers reflecting on the cultural power of Black dolls. Through conversation and shared experience, the community explored how dolls carry identity, memory, and representation across generations.

The Black Doll Symposium felt like a hush harbor — a space where makers, scholars, and collectors gathered to honor the cultural power of Black dolls and the stories they carry.

I am looking for some 25-30mm offset pupil safety eyes for a project, and I bought some from one designer and while I like the colors, they have a rise off the fabric that I literally hate.

So who is your favorite doll eye maker? I need to buy others instead.

Crisis or not, someone out there needs a doll trench coat. Probably me.

While challenges remain, this shift offers new opportunities for innovation and community-based dollmaking in the United States.

Tariffs are reshaping the collectible doll world—raising prices, shifting production, and changing how collectors buy. Discover how the industry is adapting and where new opportunities are emerging. 👇 #CollectibleDolls #ToyIndustry #BlackDollsMatter #DollMakers #AmericanMade #ArtisanToys
