Each Saturday afternoon, Scandinavia House presents our Saturday Art Workshops, which invite children to work with Nordic themes in the Halldór Laxness Library. Nordic fairy tales are full of fantastic characters and magical settings – this November we delve into stories and storytelling through practices in 3-D visual arts. Join us on Saturdays for book binding, puppet-making and crafting miniature theaters!

In Scandinavian folklore, the forests are full of trolls and little gnomes. Trolls are often said to be able to change their appearance and did so in order to trick humans — sometimes it was believed that if a child was being naughty, she or he had been replaced by a troll baby! This Saturday, we will make simple marionettes (puppets with strings) that are troll versions of ourselves.
