As the harvest season winds down and Samhain approaches, a hands-on corn dolly workshop with Open Circle and Laurie of Ashes to Ashes Pop Up Shop focuses on craft, remembrance, and seasonal intention. Participants create a corn dolly while learning about the practice’s roots and the meanings carried into this time of year. The craft draws on European harvest customs, including those in Celtic regions, where the final stalks of grain were woven into figures or intricate shapes. In this tradition, the word corn refers to grains such as wheat, barley, or oats. Folklore holds that the last sheaf sheltered the spirit of the grain. Keeping a dolly through winter and returning it to the soil at planting symbolized gratitude, continuity, and hope for spring’s renewal. Samhain marks the shift from harvest to winter and is closely tied to remembrance. The workshop invites reflection on ancestors and loved ones who have passed, with the option to dedicate the finished dolly to someone meaningful and to place it on a remembrance altar or another special spot at home. Herbs are available to weave into each piece, including rosemary harvested for the gathering, a plant long associated with remembrance. Participants can choose botanicals that match personal intentions, whether honoring a loved one, expressing gratitude, seeking peace, or holding hope for the season ahead. The workshop is $25 per person and includes all materials, herbs for personalization, guided instruction from Laurie, and an introduction to the history, folklore, and significance of the craft. Everyone leaves with a handmade corn dolly, the know-how to make more, and a deeper connection to this enduring harvest tradition.
