When Covid-19 struck, graphic designer Teri Glembin used the quarantine to get creative. Armed with a brand new set of markers, she began to doddle. Before long she found herself drawing and decorating the beloved Swedish Dala Horses of her heritage. Using bold colors, fanciful designs and fresh approaches to the traditional little horse Teri decorated one Dala Horse a day for a month. Thus “A-Dala-A-Day” was born. Starting January 8, 2021 you can view Teri’s vibrant work at the Nordic Center. In-person viewing is by appointment only, but you can take a virtual gallery tour any time of day.
To add even more cheer to this dark time of the year, The Nordic Center will host virtual workshops for both adults and children including storytelling, crafts, coloring books, and even a history lesson about the origin of the little carved horse.
