2025-12-14 – Cultural Connections: Norwegian Spoon Carving (Webinar)
Schedule:
December 14 (2:00-3:00 pm CT)
Instructor:
Liesl Chatman
Location:
This is an online class hosted on Zoom.
Join artist and instructor Liesl Chatman for the first in a series of three cross-cultural webinars exploring spoon carving techniques from around the world. The Cultural Connections series of webinars fosters perspective about the way Norwegian and Scandinavian handcrafts are part of a global community. We are excited about these programs and hope they create a forum for discussion around cultural practice and offer a platform for cultural exchange. The connections we make will help spread awareness of the folk art traditions explored at Vesterheim.
Cultural Connections: Norwegian Spoon Carving will explore the art and cultural significance of Norwegian spoon carving, using examples from the Vesterheim collection. We hope this presentation about Norwegian spoon carving will inspire you on your own carving journey.
Supplies:
Students will need to provide a computer, laptop, or tablet with a camera and mic as well as a fast, reliable internet connection.
