Corn Husks in the Courtyard

Dare County Arts Council and Island Farm are teaming up to provide a truly unique courtyard demonstration. On Thursday, May 26th from 11 am – 2 pm, David Russell will be demonstrating how to weave a chair seat bottom using corn husks, an almost lost craft that was practiced in the area for many generations. Onlookers can enjoy learning about the process and history while listening to live music by Julien McCarthy in the Dare County Arts Council courtyard. There is no charge for this event, and all ages are welcomed!
