Robert Tonner, Featured Artist
Robert Tonner’s life-long interest in dolls, top-level fashion designer experience, and designing and sculpting talents led to his creation of the Tonner Doll Company, one of the most successful and celebrated doll manufacturers in the world. The Tonner Doll Company has manufactured fine dolls designed and sculpted by Robert, from little girl and classic character dolls, to fully articulated high fashion dolls with exquisite collections of costumes. Robert was our special guest in 1998 and created the Eliza Goes to Sauder Village doll which many of you own. For 2008, Robert is creating a Sauder Village Exclusive “Mary Lee” doll from the Kripplebush line of dolls that Robert has not made for some time. Robert is finalizing the design and costuming of the “Mary Lee”doll and we will post her photo and price on the Sauder Village website www.SauderVillage.org as soon as available. We hope you will join us in welcoming back Robert to our annual Doll Show & Sale.
