Robert Tonner, Robert introduced his original doll creations at the American International Toy Fair in 1991. Best known for his fashion dolls and their extensive wardrobes, Robert and his Tyler Wentworth high fashion doll was just the beginning of his outstanding and extensive career. His recreations of vintage classic character dolls by well known doll companies continue to bring joy to doll collectors with his Betsy McCall, Orphan Annie and Nancy Ann Storybook dolls. Robert has received national and international recognition and awards for his fashion dolls. He served as President of NIADA (National Institute of American Doll Artists) from 1995-97. Robert continues to share his passion through his presentations and seminars and his fashion doll design business for the new and the seasoned doll collectors of today.
Ann Leis, Ann fell in love with the Dewees Cochran dolls the very moment she saw them and is now recognized as the leading scholar and authority of this American master doll artist as well as her biographer. Ann's in-depth research culminated with the long-awaited comprehensive publication of Dewees Cochran: The Artist and Her Dolls in 2022. Ann, as guest speaker at the 2025 Minnesota Doll Jamboree, will take you along her journey of love for Dewees and her exquisite jewel-like portrait dolls.
