What will we do?
This is an intermediate course, aimed at those who have either done an introduction day, or, who have some experience already. Several dates are offered; our days will follow a similar structure, but will focus on a different larger project each time. For example, this may be a neck, a more complex corn dolly or a fan.
We start our day by sorting straw – always a valuable skill, building your confidence to do this well after the course. We re-visit basic knots that are useful in our work.
We’ll then set to work with straw, first of all making different plaits, and then moving on to our larger project. Each of these day courses will be different rather than repeated, focusing on a different larger project each time.
As well as making things, you’ll leave with an understanding of good practice, and with the knowledge and skills to take things further.
Please note – this course is aimed at those with an experience and understanding of the basics of straw and corn work. If you’re new to the skill, please come to an introductory day first!
