Enjoy this Swedish tradition for lighting the winter nights. In this class, we will create βislyktorβ (ice lights), with natural decorations in our creations. Take home your lantern or donate it to brighten the street side of the Folk School during the Winter Festival. Students will be encouraged to practice a few Swedish words if you join this class.
This class is recommended for anyone over age 12: it is recommended students aged 12-18 years old are accompanied by an adult.
Optional: Students may want to bring ice cream pails and other plastic containers with a steady upwards taper such as cool whip tubs and yogurt containers if available.
