Many thanks to Norway House in Minneapolis for hosting our retrospective exhibit “Vibrant Tradition: Scandinavian Weaving in the Midwest” and to the more than 1,000 guests who visited.
We were sad to see the colorful weavings come down from the walls but heartened by the many kinds comments written in the guest book. We were especially touched when guests reminisced about the weavers from the Scandinavian tradition in their own families:
“My maternal Swedish grandmother wove rag rugs.”
“My grandmother studied Scandinavian and specifically Norwegian weaving and it’s very cool to see her techniques here!”
“My mother was a spinner and weaver…She would have loved Vibrant Traditions. Going through your exhibit was like spending the day with my mother…”
“My father was a Weavers Guild member for many years. He is smiling.”
Remember, you can always visit this page on our blog to see photos of each weaving in the exhibit, along with artists’ statements.
If you haven’t visited Norway House yet, plan to stop by. We especially recommend their weekly Hygge Happy Hour! (Thursdays from 4:00 to 8:00 PM.) Follow along on social media to learn more about the many programs , classes, and exhibits.
