Corn Dollies

A rare opportunity to learn about the fascinating art of corn dolly making.
The very talented Sue Tomkins will give a brief history of corn dollies, and a bit about straw preparation, before guiding us through actually making our own.

With Valentine’s Day ahead we will start with a Compass Plait Heart then have a go at either a Welsh Border Fan or Glory Braid/Diamond Plait. Depending how we get on there may be time for more…

There will, of course, be the usual light refreshments, and time for questions.
Book early to get a place on this highly unusual workshop and keep up the interest in this ancient skill.

Arm Knitting Workshop 

Eastoft Village Hall 

Friday 16 January 7-9pm. Cost £40. 

Our first craft workshop of 2026 is a cosy arm knitting session with Emily, back by request. 

No previous experience necessary, just bring your arms! Knitting on a large scale, literally using your arms, you will create your own chunky blanket, approximately 120cm x 80cm, and weighing about 2kg to take home and snuggle into. 

There is a choice of colours which need to be pre-ordered when booking. 
Booking online is easy – there you will be able to indicate your chosen colour

Light refreshments will be provided.
 A lovely workshop to create something useful for the new year!
