Summary
Author Biography
Katia Ferris is an artist, maker and designer living in San Francisco, California with her husband, two magical daughters, dream dog Echo and kitty boy, Ernest. She is best known as a textile artist and doll-maker working under the brand name Luckyjuju. Encouraged by her young daughters, doll-making soon became the primary medium for her creative pursuits and she found that being largely self-taught in the textile arts allowed her to explore techniques and materials with curiosity and freedom. Katia developed the design for the iconic Luckyjuju Kitty doll in 2013 and launched her business. Her dolls are now collected internationally and she has gone on to expand her line of original doll designs. Her doll-making mantra: When in doubt, put a pompom on it.
