The original baby sculpt, known as “Retia
Rose”, helped Jan Wright win two artist awards:
🏆 2022 Gold Awards Recipient from the
Professional Doll Maker Art Guild
🏆 Lifetime Achievement Award from
the Artshack Museum
Jan Wright's original baby sculpt, Retia
Rose, was sculpted in honor of her dear friend, Julie Carpenter.
"Julie and I were the best of friends (it's crazy how you can love and bond with people over the internet that you've never seen in person. But that's the dolly world for loving artists and collectors.... We have coffee and doll talk every morning. She shared sizing charts, clay preparation tips, body sizing, how to fix cracks and moonies... I think the thing she did most for artists was provide 'encouragement' - never give up, keep trying. I told myself "it's only clay, roll it up and go again." - Jan Wright

Meet the Artist Behind Baby Piper
Jan Wright
Jan's love for dolls started with a Judith Turner "Baby Terri" back in the 80s. She started selling porcelains in her jewelry shop to designing jewelry for dolls and making props for doll factories. When she went back to Georgia, Jan gave up dolls and worked for a dentist for 18 years, until she was introduced to polymer clay. She loves the challenge of sculpting to get a likeness from a photo and the thrill it gives her o see what emerges from a block of clay.
