SUMMARY:Create a Kjolväskor (Skirt Pocket or Purse) with Natalie Norman
DESCRIPTION:Join Natalie for a fun DIY session making your own stylish Swedish-inspired skirt pocket or purse from scratch! \n\n\n\n​This two-day class with Natalie Norman focuses on making a kjolväskor (a skirt pocket or purse) featuring appliqué and embroidered designs. \n \nSwedish kjolväskor were part of the Swedish folk dräkt (folk dress) and were used to carry oats or salt so the cows would follow the herder home. Today\, they may hold a cell phone or car keys. \nThis practical decorative bag serves as a reminder of heritage and as a focal point of beauty\, as it carries your belongings \nSuggested Age: 15 years old to adult. \nThe class fee of $135 includes the $25 materials fee. The materials fee includes:\n– Fabric and lining\n– Felt\n– Embroidery floss\n– Pattern\n– 1 needle \nRegister on EventBrite to guarantee your spot! \nPlease note: The 8-hour class is divided between two days: \n\nOctober 3rd\, 5 1/2 hours\, 10:15 am – 3:45 pm\nOctober 4th\, 2 1/2 hours\, 1:15 pm – 3:45 pm\n\nNatalie Norman has been part of the cultural needlework community for over 20 years\, participating as a vendor\, demonstrator\, and teacher at venues such as Gammelgården Museum\, American Swedish Institute\, and Marine Mills Folk School. Sponsored by the Swedish Embassy in Washington\, DC\, her embroidered work was featured in a traveling exhibition that visited five major American cities and concluded with a 15-month tour in Stockholm\, Sweden. In 2019\, Natalie received a fellowship from the American Scandinavian Foundation to study a traditional form of folk art. Courses in fritt broderi at Sätergläntan in Dalarna and påsöm at the Mora Folk School have since deepened her embroidery practice and strengthened her desire to share this passion with others. \nCancellation Policy: Up to 3 weeks before the event – 50% refund.
