Connie Zink

With Land of Oz Dolls studio in Savanna, IL as her base, Connie has 24 years
of experience teaching antique reproduction and modern doll crafting. Years
of experience and an undying enthusiasm for making dolls are an inspiration
to all who become her student.

Connie finds teaching the most fulfilling aspect of her doll-making career.
She relates: “Seeing the joy on that new student’s face after completing her
first baby doll to the more advanced student when the concept of painting
those dreaded French eyebrows finally clicks, excites me to this day. The
rewards from this profession are multi-fold. Friendships made through this
industry can last a lifetime. My life would not be the same without all of
the wonderful people I have met during the course of the last 24 years.”
