- Share via
A Scandinavian cultural organization will host a series of folk art programs at Cal Lutheran University this fall and winter.
The lectures and practice sessions, held by the Scandinavian American Cultural and Historical Foundation, will cover woodcarving, ceramics, folk music and other arts. All lectures will be free and open to the public.
The series begins Oct. 6 with lectures on woodcarving and rosemaling, a Scandinavian peasant style of decoration. The lectures--by Joseph Haugen and Donna Haugen , respectively--will be held in the university’s Nelson Room starting at 7:30 p.m.
Jan. 12, Anne Charlotte Harvey will present a program of Scandinavian pioneer folk songs in the Nelson Room at 7:30 p.m., with a practice session scheduled for the following day.
And Feb. 9, starting at 7:30 p.m. in the university’s art building, Joel Edwards will lecture on ceramic tile painting.
The series was made possible by a $5,000 grant from the California Folk Arts Regranting Program in partnership with the James Irvine Foundation.
