Maybe you don’t want a fancy Norwegian belt knife that is too nice to use or maybe that is exactly what you want! Either way, this class is for you. We will go back to basics and hand carve a handle. This is something the instructor still does from time to time. By making one by hand, it will be much easier for you to understand this process when you graduate to power tools, and, yes, you can make a knife without power. The knife project will be more of a knife for carving than a fancy belt knife. Then we will make a traditional Norwegian sheath from vegetable tanned leather, with or without a belt hoop. Decoration and finishes of the leather will also be explored.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor knifemaking tools, we will make an awl and a tool for pauting (modelin) leather.

It focuses on the Ekdal family, whose fragile peace is shattered by Gregers Werle, an idealist who insists on exposing hidden truths, leading to tragic consequences. The play was written in a realistic style, but literary scholars have pointed out the play's kinship with symbolism. It blends themes such as deception, betrayal, and the disillusionment of modern life with moments of comedy and satire, and is considered the first modern masterpiece in the genre of tragicomedy. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSupplies\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegistrants should secure their own copy of the book (available for purchase soon through the Vesterheim Museum Store) and have read it prior to the discussion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eAdditional Supplies\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStudents will need to provide a computer, laptop, or tablet with a camera and mic as well as a fast, reliable internet connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecial Instructions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen registering for the class, please make sure to use the mailing and email addresses you'd like the Zoom meeting invitations sent to.
