Cultural Connections: Stranded Colorwork in Knitted UK Gloves

February 23, 2025 @ 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM

Cultural Connections: Stranded Colorwork in Knitted UK Gloves (webinar)

February 23, 2025
1:00 p.m.-2:00 p.m.

Join us for Vesterheim’s series of cross-cultural webinars exploring stranded colorwork in knitting from multiple cultural perspectives. Cultural Connections: Stranded Colorwork in Knitted UK Gloves is the second in the series and is led by Dr. Angharad Thomas, an author, researcher, and knitter from the UK.

The cross-cultural series webinars will foster 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 we explore at Vesterheim. Join us as we learn together!

It is suggested that participants consider purchasing a copy of Raymond’s book from Vesterheim Museum Store before the webinar. There are 71 Norwegian boards shown in extra large format and being familiar with them beforehand will enhance the experience of the webinar.

Registration for this free class is required. Sign up here.
