Vibrant Traditions: Scandinavian Weaving in the Midwest

Norway House is proud to partner with the Scandinavian Weavers Study Group of the Weavers Guild of Minnesota to bring you Vibrant Traditions: Scandinavian Weaving in the Midwest, an extraordinary exhibit showcasing both traditional and contemporary weavings crafted using Scandinavian techniques.

This special exhibit, hosted in the Joan & Walter Mondale Galleri, celebrates nearly 30 years of collaboration, friendship, and shared expertise within the Study Group.
