Description

For Kimberly Camp, dollmaking is both art and craftsmanship, blending painting, sculpture, sewing, and storytelling to bring each figure to life. We met Kimberly at her studio in Collingswood, NJ where she continues a career spanning over 50 years, using her work to bring joy and vitality to this three-millennia-old art form, connecting ancient traditions to contemporary culture. Kimberly Camp is the recipient of a 2026 New Jersey Heritage Fellowship.
