ABOUT THE PDC AND THE ARTIST JEN MURPHY
My mother taught me how to design patterns and sew teddy bears when I was eleven years old. We both coveted antique mohair teddy bears, but since we were unable to afford to buy them, she taught herself, then taught me. Throughout my childhood we traveled the country selling her beautifully crafted pieces.
For as long as I can remember this is what we did. We made things. In my twenties and early thirties, I successfully carved out a business making one-of-a-kind teddy bears and animals for collectors worldwide, but once I had my own children I questioned why I was making “toys” intended for adults, often relegated to decorations. I wanted the objects I made to be animated by play and imbued with the love children give their favorite toys.
In 2012, I launched the Polka Dot Club with this in mind and in the intervening years I’ve seen how that simple act of learning to sew all those years ago, has so deeply impacted the way I live, work, and parent. I wanted to reinforce the idea that everything in our home was crafted and didn't just appear on a shelf ready for us to digest. It came from someplace and someone, which is a very powerful idea- one that I’m committed to. It feeds the Less Is More ideas about consumerism and quality but it also empowers everyone to become a maker themselves.
My Studio here in Minneapolis is where I continue to work and design all the pieces for the PDC, and I’ve expanded the studio to include a small group of sewers in Lima, Peru. This collaboration has been a powerful one. It’s not fast, inexpensive, nor easy to work in Peru, but it is meaningful. This sewing group was started to support hearing impaired women and now employs a handful of very talented sewers. The history of craft is threaded throughout the Peruvian culture and I’m learning so much from working with Pilar, Cecilia, Yesenia, Carmen, Kristine… and we’re only just getting started.
MADE WITH SO MUCH LOVE FROM THE CLUB.

Grapat toys are designed to stir the imagination, to allow the child to be creative in her own way. There is no right way to play with the toys: just go where the fancy takes you!
The wood used for Grapat toys (primarily beech and birch) comes from sustainable forests. Wood is the source that inspires the workshop daily. It is robust, soft and hard, it is warm, it sounds good and it smells good.
The dyes are based on water and non-toxic: they allow the grain of the wood to show through, bringing children into closer contact with nature. The finishes are made with waxes and oils of vegetable origin. The oils can have a strong aroma at first, but it loses it within a few days. Each piece is unique, each one is painted by hand. And natural imperfections are recognized as being part of the natural wood: it is beautiful and makes the material even more valuable.

________________________________________________
ABOUT THE PDC AND THE ARTIST JEN MURPHY
My mother taught me how to design patterns and sew teddy bears when I was eleven years old. We both coveted antique mohair teddy bears, but since we were unable to afford to buy them, she taught herself, then taught me. Throughout my childhood we traveled the country selling her beautifully crafted pieces.
For as long as I can remember this is what we did. We made things. In my twenties and early thirties, I successfully carved out a business making one-of-a-kind teddy bears and animals for collectors worldwide, but once I had my own children I questioned why I was making “toys” intended for adults, often relegated to decorations. I wanted the objects I made to be animated by play and imbued with the love children give their favorite toys.
In 2012, I launched the Polka Dot Club with this in mind and in the intervening years I’ve seen how that simple act of learning to sew all those years ago, has so deeply impacted the way I live, work, and parent. I wanted to reinforce the idea that everything in our home was crafted and didn't just appear on a shelf ready for us to digest. It came from someplace and someone, which is a very powerful idea- one that I’m committed to. It feeds the Less Is More ideas about consumerism and quality but it also empowers everyone to become a maker themselves.
My Studio here in Minneapolis is where I continue to work and design all the pieces for the PDC, and I’ve expanded the studio to include a small group of sewers in Lima, Peru. This collaboration has been a powerful one. It’s not fast, inexpensive, nor easy to work in Peru, but it is meaningful. This sewing group was started to support hearing impaired women and now employs a handful of very talented sewers. The history of craft is threaded throughout the Peruvian culture and I’m learning so much from working with Pilar, Cecilia, Yesenia, Carmen, Kristine… and we’re only just getting started.
MADE WITH SO MUCH LOVE FROM THE CLUB.

Two large Nins in two different costumes that can help children to think about the idea of differences in how we look (use them with the Nins in dark wood as well!). At the same time the size allows children to think about different stages of growth. This two-piece set can be combined with the classic Nins and the Nins babies to give shape to an infinity of family structures. Psst- these would also be equally amazing as a wedding cake topper ;)

Grapat toys are designed to stir the imagination, to allow the child to be creative in her own way. There is no right way to play with the toys: just go where the fancy takes you!
The wood used for Grapat toys (primarily beech and birch) comes from sustainable forests. Wood is the source that inspires the workshop daily. It is robust, soft and hard, it is warm, it sounds good and it smells good.
The dyes are based on water and non-toxic: they allow the grain of the wood to show through, bringing children into closer contact with nature. The finishes are made with waxes and oils of vegetable origin. The oils can have a strong aroma at first, but it loses it within a few days. Each piece is unique, each one is painted by hand. And natural imperfections are recognized as being part of the natural wood: it is beautiful and makes the material even more valuable.
