Join artist historian Stephenie Anderson in a look at the traditional folk dress component referred to as "pockets". Stephenie recently completed an Artist in Residence at the Vesterheim, studying all of the pockets in the collection. During this presentation, Steph will show different pockets from Norway, around the world, and the Vesterheim collection. From bunad pockets to pockets for everyday use, she will lead us in a study of how pockets developed and how individuals showed their creativity through their stitches and fabrics.
