Resin Rose BJD Expo is holding its eighth annual event this August at the Monarch Hotel and Convention Center in Clackamas, Oregon. It is the largest BJD show on the West Coast and is run by five volunteers. With a Game Night theme, many fun activities await those who attend.
The expo will kick off Friday night with a meet-and-greet banquet where prizes and swag bags will be given out. A swap meet and a pajama party with games and prizes will take place on Saturday evening, and the charity raffles will be included in Sunday’s closing ceremony. A photography room with props and backdrops will be available for use throughout the event, as will a DIY crafting room, where attendees can restring and hot-glue suede their dolls, decorate headbands, and make plush animals.
Jamie Rist, president and treasurer of the nonprofit organization that puts on the event, said, “Our panel and workshop schedule is still being finalized, but some of the classes we have lined up so far are Basic Doll Making, Photoshop for Beginners, BJD Restringing 101, Dollhouse Creation in 1/12 Scale, Introduction to Smart Doll, You Can Safely Work with Chemicals, Wizard’s Tome Workshop, Speed Race Couture, Sewing for BJDs, No-Sew Fantasy Whatever Dress Workshop, Friend or Foe? You Decide game, and Taking Better Photos with Smart Phone Cameras. More information on our classes can be found at resinrosebjd.com/class.html.”
