Starting with Slöjd: Weaving with Natural Materials

About this event

Starting with Slöjd is a monthly program for early elementary students. Participants explore new tools, materials, and skills that prepare them for a lifelong love of handcraft. Instructor Anna Ruhland will lead students in gathering natural materials like sticks, leaves, and stems outdoors at the American Swedish Institute. Anna will then teach students how to weave these materials on a simple loom to create a unique and natural tapestry. Additional Information: This is a drop-off program. Adults may not accompany children during this program. Suitable for students in grades K-2. This class will plan to take place outside. In case of inclement weather, the class will be held in Classroom A in the lower level of the Turnblad Mansion. Advanced registration required. Photo Credit: Melissa Hansen
