Folk Arts Workshop at Chase Home - Swedish Star

Weave an eight-pointed Swedish Star with artist Kandyce Galanis Weave your own eight-pointed Swedish Star! 🌟🌿 Swedish stars are a traditional Scandinavian folk art passed down through generations of makers as symbols of hope and light during the northern hemisphere's darkest time of the year. Historically, these geometric stars were woven during the quiet winter months using dormant branches like willow, or harvested wheat stalks and grasses, bringing warmth and artistry into the home. Join artist and designer @kandycegalanisart for our year-end Folk Art Workshop @ Chase Home Museum to weave your own classic winter keepsake. What you'll experience: Learn hands-on techniques to bend, tie, and weave 22-inch natural reeds into an eight-pointed star. Embellish your creation with twine and your choice of ribbon. Take home a timeless decoration, perfect for hanging on a door, in a window, or over the mantel! Please check in within 10 minutes of the start time. At that point, we may make any unoccupied seats available to another interested participant. We would love to accommodate as many people as possible at these workshops. However, our physical space is limited. Thank you for understanding. If you are on the waitlist or would like to standby on the day of the event, please arrive at the start time and we will try our best to accommodate you.
