Celebrate one of Sweden’s favorite folk art symbols by making a felt Dalahorse!
Each student will hand sew their own red or blue Dalahorse using instructor Julie Steller’s pattern and instruction. The class will use 100% wool felt, authentic Swedish patterned ribbons and trim, and wool fleece to stuff a one-of-a-kind Dala. Basic sewing skills needed.

INSTRUCTOR
Julie Steller loves the beauty of handcrafted items and is especially fond of wool felt. She taught art and handwork for many years at homeschool cooperatives and at River Tree School in Crystal, MN. In recent years, she has focused on making beautiful and useful items such as mittens, hats and clothing using upcycled wool sweaters. Julie Steller’s work has been featured at ASI’s Julmarknad and the Great Makers Exchange.

A $15 materials fee is payable to the instructor. Please bring a pair of sharp fabric scissors.

Cost: $50 Members / $60 Non-Members
