The Weaving Culture of Sweden

February’s Zoom Program
February, 10 @ 10:00 a.m.
The Weaving Culture of Sweden
We are thrilled to have Sally Orgren at our February guild meeting!
Sally is the editor of the Shuttle Spindle & Dyepot, the magazine produced by the Handweavers Guild of America, Inc. (HGA). Sally has exhibited, won awards, and written about weaving and related topics throughout her more than thirty years of producing fiber art.
She will be presenting “The Weaving Culture of Sweden.” Enjoy behind the scenes tours of Ostergotlands Ullspinneri (a wool spinning operation pictured in the photo), Klassbols Linnevaveri (four generation linen factory), Almgrens Sidenvaveria (Stockholm silk museum), and some of the student textile work exhibited at the University of Boras in this presentation.
Tag along virtually as Sally visits weaver Kerstin Froberg, the 14th Century Bockstern Man (with his clothing mostly intact!) and nearly 400-year-old textiles recovered from the Vasa, a famous Swedish ship that sank in 1628.
You will experience a true textile adventure!
