Wheat Weaving is a Folk Art that dates
back hundreds of years. In many cultures, Wheat Weavings have been a
symbol of good luck. Folklore told of saving the last sheave of
grain at harvest, through the winter, to be returned to the fields
in the spring. The farmers believed this gave the “spirit of the
grain” back to the Earth and would insure a bountiful crop.
Today wheat weavings are a blend of traditional and modern designs.
The straw of various grains is woven or plaited to make decorative
pieces for the home and as gifts for special occasions. I have many
other designs, please contact me for special requests or custom
work.
