Braided Grain

In rural Nottinghamshire, third-generation straw worker Lu Towle carefully weaves tokens from wheat straw; her life is intertwined with the harvest. To mark the seasonal turn, we join Lu for an exploration of corn dolly making, capturing the processes and conversations around this inherited rural tradition.
