Gleanings, the official voice of NAWW, provides news of our Association, a wealth of information about the history of straw folk art, suppliers, tips, hints, advice and articles about straw work in other countries. Published three times per year, it also features projects from our generous members in every issue.

Gleanings represents the diversity of our membership by bringing stories and information from each of our three Districts as well as from our International members.

Gleanings articles in 2020 have featured “Angel Love” by Linda Downs and Judy Laird, “Straw Mask Festival” by Morgyn Owens-Celli, “Polish Wedding Favor” by Lorraine Homco, “Forget-me-not Favor” by Sidney Lee, and many more.

In 2021 the issues will feature the instructions for the classes being taught on Zoom throughout the year. Each issue is a straw cornucopia of information with articles that inform, encourage, and educate. Whether you are a newcomer or an experienced maker, there will be something for you.

Enjoy the Gleanings issue from Summer 2017. The cover article is about the history of the NAWW Memorial Fund. In addition, there are six projects, photos and articles from the NAWW Convention in Indianapolis, an article about various tools used in straw work, and more.
