EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from 1989, we are transported back in time to an Earth Magic event at the Tolson Museum. The image showcases the incredible talent of corn-dolly maker Mrs Marie Jolliff as she shares her artistry with two young boys, Alex Krzesinski and Joseph Oliver. Mrs Jolliff stands proudly in the center, surrounded by plaited straw creations that exude a sense of tradition and heritage. Her hands gracefully manipulate the delicate strands, weaving them into intricate patterns that have been passed down through generations. As we delve into all our yesterdays, we witness a moment where ancient customs meet youthful curiosity. Alex and Joseph's eyes sparkle with wonder as they observe Mrs Jolliff's skillful craftsmanship. It is evident that these children are captivated by the beauty and significance of corn dollies. This photograph serves as a poignant reminder of West Yorkshire's rich cultural tapestry. The Tolson Museum acts as a sanctuary for preserving traditional practices such as corn-dolly making, ensuring they are not forgotten amidst the hustle and bustle of modern life. Through this snapshot frozen in time, we celebrate both the dedication of artisans like Mrs Marie Jolliff and the eagerness of younger generations to embrace their local heritage. It is moments like these that remind us how important it is to cherish our roots and pass on cherished traditions for years to come.
