Fall is indeed a celebration of the harvest. To mark it we will spend the evening working with harvested materials to make cordage and festive geometrical ornaments known as himmeli. Himmeli is an old traditional craft practiced in Finland and Eastern Europe with endless possibilities. It involves taking harvested grain plant straws (we will be using wheat) and stringing them up to make three dimensional 3-D shapes. All materials will be provided so the only thing Members will be accountable for is, well, just having fun!
