hile most people now have gift buying s’\/ on their minds, Pat Harris, a Cambridge artist, is dealing with a gift of a different kind. She has an incredible talent for sculpting oldâ€" fashioned Santa dolls. Harris uses a sculpting medium to fashion her uniquely expressive faces, adding glass eyes before baking them in an oven. She then dresses them in handmade clothing and finishes them with appropriate accessories. The result is remarkably realistic Santa dolls which will enhance almost any Christmas decorating scheme. Harris has had no formal art training. In fact, she discovered her talent for sculpture while enrolled in a bird carving hobby course. "At class one night I thought I‘d try carving a face. The result was good enough that I kept it up, and soon found myself sculpting Santa faces and hands instead of carving birds," she says.
