Luffarslöjd, or Swedish wire craft, is experiencing a renaissance in Sweden, with items for sale at every market and konsthantverk craft shop. A wide variety of household and decorative items can be made with inexpensive wire, which is why it was so widely practiced by Swedish vagabonds during the early 20th century.
This workshop costs $70 for ASI members and $85 for nonmembers. Please plan to bring a bag lunch. Advance registration is required, and space is limited. Sign up by calling 612-871-4907.
