BEGINNING WHEAT WEAVING CLASS
Wheat weaving is a FOLKART, centuries old. It is suspected the first "corn dolly" or wheat weaving, was made in the shape of a maiden to represent the fertility of the grain. The original name, "corn dolly", comes from Europe where all grain is called corn. Here in the United Sates we refer to this art as wheat weaving. These weaving are considered to bring good luck and happiness to those who have them in their homes.
