Need some grounding?

I'll be teaching this fun class at John C. Campbell Folk School later this summer!

Make Colorful Corn Shuck Dolls From Nature

Aug 30- Sep 4, 2026

Nature Studies, Doll Making
Instructor: Anne Freels Skill Level: All levels

Be inspired by nature and transform natural dried corn shucks into colorful, fanciful figures using your hands, heart, imagination, and twine. If you can tie a knot you can make a corn shuck doll! Embellish your dolls with gifts of summertime including gathered herbs, moss, vines, and seeds. Enhance your creations with fabric, feathers, lace, or small trinkets from home to create unique dolls that celebrate seasons, gardening, or something meaningful to you.
