Cultural Connections: Chullo Knitting Traditions from Cusco, Peru Webinar

March 29, 2025 | 2:00 -3:00 pm CT

Location: Online on Zoom

Join us for Vesterheim’s series of cross-cultural webinars exploring stranded colorwork in knitting from multiple cultural perspectives. Cultural Connections: Norwegian Sweaters is the third in the series and is led by Diana Hendrickson, the Director of Special Events at the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco in Peru.

Registrants for this webinar will receive an invitation to register for an online trunk sale of pieces knitted by the artists at the Centro de Textiles Tradicionales del Cusco that will follow the webinar.

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!

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