Starting with Slöjd: Woven Fairy Charms

Starting with Slöjd is a monthly program for early elementary students who want to start crafting! Whether it’s playing with wool, wire, paper, or more, this group will explore new tools, materials, and skills that prepare kids for a lifelong love of slöjd (handcraft). ASI designed these drop-off programs for students in grades K-2.

ASI instructor Anna Ruhland will help students gather sticks and branches to use in this weaving project. Students will weave yarn onto their sticks, add beads, and found nature objects to create a wand or charm.

This class will take place outside—rain or shine. Students must wear clothing appropriate for outdoor play and messy art projects. Please make sure that your young maker brings sun protection, a water bottle, and rain gear (if necessary).
