Wendy Froud

WENDY MOVED TO NEW YORK where after receiving one of her puppets as a Christmas gift from the Muppet’s art director, Jim Henson asked her to come and work on their newest project, “The Dark Crystal” where she met her husband to be, Brian Froud. Wendy worked not only on The Dark Crystal but on the Muppet Show, Muppet Movie, The Empire Strikes Back ( as fabricator of Yoda) and Labyrinth.

SINCE MOVING PERMANENTLY TO DARTMOOR, ENGLAND, Wendy has concentrated on making models and mythic figures. She has illustrated three books - A Midsummer Night’s Faerytale, The Winter Child, and The Faeries of Spring Cottage - with author Terri Windling.  

WENDY HAS PUBLISHED A BOOK of her own writings, illustrated with her dolls and figures - The Art of Wendy Froud (published by Imaginosis). She also writes for magazines and has had her fiction writing included in two anthologies  -  Sirens and Other Demon Lovers and Trolls Eye View. 

Wendy teaches sculpting, doll and model making and mask making workshops incorporating mythic and faery imagery and meditation.

THREE OF HER LATEST PROJECTS are The Heart of Faerie Oracle - a deck of oracle cards with book, illustrated by Brian Froud and written by Wendy Froud, Trolls, which includes paintings and drawing by Brian, 3d models by Wendy, with all text written by Wendy, published by Abrams in 2012, and Faeries Tales, the newest collaboration with Brian, also published by Abrams in 2014.
