“Domestic to Decorative”: Krokbragd Demonstration

Thanks to Beth Detlie, who demonstrated at Red Wing Arts as part of the Scandinavian Weavers exhibit “Domestic to Decorative: The Evolution of Nordic Weaving.” The exhibit is open through December 24 at the historic train depot gallery in beautiful Red Wing, Minnesota.

Beth wove a classic three-shed krokbragd technique using a rigid heddle loom.

Beth explains the finer points of her weaving to guests in the Red Wing Arts gallery. In the background are Lisa Torvik’s transparency weavings, based on a motif in a woven coverlet from the Sogn region of Norway. Lisa will demonstrate transparency weaving on Saturday, December 9 from 1:00 to 3:00 PM. Please join us!
