Straw "God's Eye"

GOD'S EYE STRAW WEAVING WORKSHOP

2-3 hrs

Learn to weave or plait a square weave known as a “God’s eye”, with natural golden wheat and rye. This craft harkens from ancient times and can be found in most places where grain growing (and straw) was and is a key component of people’s lives. These woven talismans have been found in remote villages from Scotland to Mexico, and in Ukraine and Poland, and probably many more places! 

In this workshop you’ll get the chance to learn the basic principles of the craft and create your own delicate piece to hang in your home.
