Correction! In the first post, I posted a link to the full column, but the link led in a circle to this shorter post. HERE’S the full News and Notes column.
This summer’s “News and Notes” column highlights two upcoming Minnesota exhibits featuring Scandinavian-inspired weaving: Domestic to Decorative: The Evolution of Nordic Weaving in Red Wing (October 27-December 24, 2023) and Nordic Reflections in Fiber: The 50th Anniversary of the Duluth Fiber Guild in Duluth (September 2 – 30, 2023).
Two recent webinars on Norwegian weaving from Vesterheim Norwegian-American Museum were recently posted on the Vesterheim YouTube channel: “Dressing the Wise and Foolish Virgins: Women, Dress, and Culture in 16th and 17th Century Norway” by Laura Berlage, and Frida Hansen: A Norwegian Art Nouveau Artist in Wool by Robbie LaFleur.
Joel Greifinger has begun a new Facebook group that will be of interest to many Norwegian Textile Letter readers, Scandinavian Folk Textiles.
Suggestions for some interesting reading rounds out the “News and Notes” column.
God sommer!
