Summer is with us, and Lammas not so very far away. The
crops are ripening in the fields, and following on from our Lammas window of
last year, the Museum will this year be hosting a straw craft work shop. Come

spirit of the harvest, and have a go at making a corn dolly or two to take home
with you.
The workshop will be tutored by Gillian Nott, who has been

theatres, newspapers and various designers, and collaborates closely with the
Eden Project and the Museum of Witchcraft and Magic in Boscastle.
