    Program:  The Viking Age Vararfeldur  with Siobhan Harlakenden

    Learn the history and technique of a Viking Age cloth that mimics the look of a sheep’s pelt. Several Nordic settlements have evidence of this textile but it is Iceland that is most associated with it. Worn as a cloak and doubling as a blanket, the Vararfeldur is flexible, breathable, water repellent, and the epitome of warmth, a truly invaluable item for Northern sea faring peoples. Using this technique today we can experience those same qualities while also applying it to home decor, other personal adornments, and the best pet beds ever!

    Doors open at 6:15 PM, meeting starts at 6:45 PM
    Hybrid meeting: In-person and via Zoom.

    Guests are welcome to attend one meeting free of charge prior to joining the guild.

    Details and Zoom login will be emailed to registered members a day before the meeting.
