Fiber Group

Continuing our experimentation with natural materials, October’s meeting will be a short workshop on Corn Husk doll making and other uses.  Originated by Native Americans, the natural flexibility and durability of the corn husks lend themselves to this medium and can stand up to years of display.  These dolls have been used in child’s play and also in healing ceremonies.  Corn husks on a wire form make a great wreath.  Corn husks can also be used in weaving, paper making, cordage and netting.  Sue Clark will lead a discussion and direct the workshop.  Materials will be available, but please feel free to bring more dried husks, ribbons and other adornment for adding to the dolls or other ideas for using this material.

This group is free for Falmouth Art Center members, $5 for non-members. Non-members can donate through our website.
