Corn Husk Dolls
Corn husk dolls were a favorite among the pioneer and Native American children. These dolls were made exclusively of corn husks and string. People still make these dolls today as a hobby! Please join us as we replicate this early art form. All materials will be provided, and an instructor will guide you each step of the way. This program requires a lot of tight knots and is probably not suitable for very young children.
