Creswell Crags
19 August

In this workshop you will learn about the origins and history of the Corn Dolly, and then have a go and making your own to take home.

The practical workshop starts with making the traditional 3 straw plait known as Countryman's Fancy. Building upon this straw plaiting technique, you will go on to make the more complex 'Sunspray'.

All workshop participants need to bring a sharp pair of scissors and a 30cm ruler.

At the end of the session you will have your own doll, or dollies, to take home.
