Cultural Connections: Tlingit Spoon Carving Webinar

Join artist and Instructor James Johnson for a presentation about Tlingit history and the cultural significance of spoons. Tlingit spoons are constructed from Dall sheep horn, mountain goat horn, and wood. James will talk about feeding our ancestors, cultural practice, and the meaning behind the designs.

The cross-cultural series webinars foster perspective about the way Norwegian and Scandinavian handcrafts are part of a global community. We are excited about these programs and hope they create a forum for discussion around cultural practice and offer a platform for cultural exchange. The connections we make will help spread awareness of the folk art traditions we explore at Vesterheim. Join us as we learn together!
