Kalevala Day: Discover Finland’s CultureA Hands-On Cultural Workshop
Celebrate Kalevala Day with an immersive afternoon exploring Finnish culture, mythology, and creativity with Finlandia Foundation Boston.
This engaging, hands-on workshop introduces participants to the rich origin stories of the Kalevala, Finland’s national epic, through storytelling, cultural context, and creative making. Led by Finnish-American artist Kristine Holohan, the program blends folklore, design, and traditional printmaking techniques in an accessible and playful way.
Participants will learn about the cultural significance of the Kalevala while creating their own printed designs using provided tools and materials. No prior art or printmaking experience is required—just curiosity and a willingness to explore.
