Hi and welcome! We are shop owners and partners, Doug and Teresa, and we've been making fine jig dolls and accessories since 2012. Each of our dolls requires several hours to complete and is meticulously crafted by us, by hand. Head, body, hands, legs and shoes are individually cut, shaped and sanded, then finally painted. Fabric is chosen, trimmed and sewn. Hair is cut, shaped and glued, and assembly begins. Once assembled, each doll is tested and tuned for optimum playability. Our dolls are truly a labor of love. They're also a great value when you consider the amount of time and detail work required.
Jig dolls, also known as Limberjack dolls, have been around for more than two centuries and come in many different styles and sizes. A curious combination of doll, rhythm maker, puppet and folk toy, these enchanting little dancers depend on you to bring them to life by tapping a rhythm on the included "stage" which resonates the sound of their clicking heels to the music.
Our Jig dolls aren't just any doll - they are folk art, conjuring nostalgic memories of a simpler time, when people created their own family traditions to gather and play music, dance and pass the time. They are a precision musical instrument and form of self expression, for young and old, professional musician or novice. They've been sought out and enjoyed by schools, libraries, musicians, buskers, nursing homes, story tellers, and of course, individuals, around the US, England, Ireland, France, Germany and Canada!
Whether you're a musician looking for an interesting piece to add to your rhythm section, a doll, puppet or folk art lover, or just like to have fun around the camp fire, you will become the life of the party with a jig doll fromThe Jig Doll Shop!
