Wheat Weaving a Harvest Heart

Wheat weaving comes loaded with myths and legends, most of them about luck and the turning of the year.

Students spend an autumn afternoon learning where the craft came from, how to prepare wheat straw so it will bend without breaking, and how to plait it into a decorative Harvest Heart. It is the kind of object that ends up on a door every autumn for years afterward.

Good to know. $119 for the afternoon, in the Fiber Studio at 286 Whisconier Road. Prices and openings change, so check the registration page before you plan around it.
