Nannette Schenk Bio
Nannette Schenk is a great fan of contemporary doll making. In the nineties she started creating
busts and dolls, which resulted in making her own busts and dolls. Spontaneously the funny faces were born.
She enjoyed created faces with a lot of expressions and luckily she found the public at
”Ahoy Rotterdam” and at “The Leeuwenhorst Noordwijkerhout” were just as excited about her dolls too. The organizer of the Leeuwenhorst doll show sent pictures of her dolls to the biggest newspaper in the Netherlands,”the Telegraaf”. Betty red ribbon, her first doll bust, was chosen to be in the Saturday edition. She also had some pictures of her jesters and busts published in the Contemporary Doll Maker and the Dutch magazine “Poppen” Some of her busts and dolls were a bit snobbish. That is how the name Snobbies started.
Her dolls have been exhibited in many shops in the area where she lives. This resulted in questions to the shop owners, if she gave lessons in doll making. At first she started giving doll making lessons at home. This was great fun, since the students wanted to make those same funny faces.
Her first online doll lessons “Snobbies new style” were all about making the paper clay bust.
She really enjoyed teaching online both in English and Dutch.
For the past years she made trips to Paris, Versailles, Tuscany, Venice etc. and was very impressed about the Baroque and Rococo style. Of course there were also films about the golden age like for instance “Marie Antoinette” and “Le Roi danse”. And as she likes history, costuming and beautiful cakes, it inspired her to put all these things together and create a new pincushion doll.
