We hope that if you saw us at the Greater Pittsburgh Renaissance Festival over the years or recently took a class we taught, that will find something appealing here on the site.
Wheat Weaving : An Ancient Craft
Please use our contact form to get in touch with us if you'd like to make a purchase.
For as long as people have been growing grain, they have created designs with the stalks and heads. In England, where grain is known as corn, these figures are called Corn Dollies.
I'm currently using golden, blackbeard and blackberry wheat as well as some rye (though I no longer have a good source for rye so I've not pictured anything in rye here).
