Zofia & Henry
Zawieruszynski
Zofia
and Henry first caught our eye at the Idex "1995" Doll Show winning an award for
"Zuzanna." Zofia was educated at various schools in Poland to broaden her
talents in sculpting, costume design, anatomy and painting. Zophia began creating puppets
and dolls in 1969 and later opened a design business. This husband and wife team worked
with dolls in cloth, cernit and other mediums for many years. In 1988 Zophia and
Henry moved to America, settled in Minnesota and continued to work on creating gorgeous,
small limited edition dolls. The couple have won numerous awards including Idex
"95", Idex "96", Doll of the Year "96" nomination, and the
Doll of Excellence "96" nomination award. They also received two nominations for
awards of excellence in 1997, 1998 and 1999 and many many other Doty and Dolls
Award of Excellence awards in from 2000 thru 2005. We mainly carried
their small ltd. edition original porcelain work in the nineties in the $1500.00
to $2000.00 price point. In more recent years they have expanded into
an amazing selection of reasonable vinyl and porcelain dolls. The vinyl
dolls are still assembled in the United States by Zofia and Henry
themselves. Their work is reasonably priced & a good
value. |
