SUMMARY:KNITTING THURSDAYS! | LEARN TO KNIT WITH HILARY SNELL
DESCRIPTION:Learn to knit at Scandinavia House this fall in classes in October and November! \nWhen one thinks of Scandinavia\, one of the first things that comes to mind is the distinctive patterns of knitted sweaters. Knitting has been an essential part of Nordic culture since the early 1500s and people\, sheep and knitting have always been inextricably linked. The craft has been a source of artistic expression while also keeping generations warm during the long\, cold winters. \nKnitting is a symbol of self-sufficiency. Families tended the sheep\, spun the wool from those sheep and used yarn to clothe themselves and their loved ones. They would also sell their work to support their families. Denmark\, the Faroe Islands\, Finland\, Iceland\, Norway\, Sweden and Finland all have rich and varied knitting traditions and continue to express themselves through stunning design and wool work. \nJoin us for small\, two-hour workshops to learn the basics of knitting. In a casual and supportive setting\, you’ll learn how to cast on\, knit\, purl\, and cast off. You’ll leave with your own knitted piece to continue your work at home. Scandinavia House will supply the needles and the yarn. \nDID YOU KNOW? Repetitive motions like knitting\, where your mind becomes fully absorbed in the task\, can lead to increased happiness and decreased stress. \nABOUT THE INSTRUCTOR: \nHilary Snell\, a longtime visitor services staff member of Scandinavia House\, is of English\, Scottish\, and Irish descent\, and loves everything about Nordic culture. She was taught to knit by her grandmother and mother when she was eight years old and took it up again in her late 20s\, and has been knitting ever since. She enjoys sharing her love of the craft and of fiber arts in general. See her work at: https://www.instagram.com/lockwoodknits/ \nRegister

SUMMARY:BETWEEN LICHEN AND HEAVEN
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening and discussion with ASF Fellow Susanna Monseau and filmmaker Ruth Grimberg on their documentary Between Lichen and Heaven\, exploring the Ahlskog Tannery in Ostrobothnia\, the last reindeer leather tannery in Finland. \nIn the small town of Kronoby\, Finland\, the last reindeer tannery continues a fragile craft that links Sámi herders\, local communities\, and the global fashion industry. As reindeer hides risk becoming waste\, the tannery struggles to survive amid economic pressures\, shifting sustainability laws\, and climate change. Interwoven with the voices of herders and tannery workers\, Between Lichen and Heaven reflects on the precarity of livelihoods where culture\, ecology\, and economy remain inseparably connected. By looking at the tannery’s place in the Finnish fashion supply chain\, the film also explores how global textiles and fashion industry companies in Finland have embedded sustainability as a key value\, and how they work to understand and improve their operations to uphold their responsibility to people and the planet. \n
