Join us at Scandinavia House for a family-friendly art workshop on fantastical buildings! In this activity for children ages 5-12 and their families, participants will learn about wonderful Scandinavian architecture such as Icelandic turf houses, the Finnish Pavilion at NY’s World Fair, and more.
Kids will learn how to create their own fantastical buildings using assemblage under the guidance of Icelandic Teaching Artist Melkorka Helgasdottir, also known as Korka.
