Straw work and corn dollies – an introduction

May 24, 2023 @ 10:00 - 15:30

This experience day is suitable for beginners or for those who want a refresher course.

What will we do?
We start our day by sorting straw – a valuable skill, which will give you the confidence to do this well after the course. We learn some basic knots that are useful in our work – another good skill to have!
We then make two different plaits, which can be made into traditional harvest favours.
We’ll make a small spiral corn dolly, which gives you the insight into working in three dimensions, and the skill of adding-in straws.
As well as making things, you’ll leave with an understanding of good practice, and with the knowledge and skills to take things further, either independently or in a follow-on course.

See the website for more details.
