New & Noteworthy
Meet Beth Moen, a 2023 guest instructor at both North House and the American Swedish Institute and lead Wood instructor at Sätergläntan Institute for Craft in Dalarna, Sweden.
In her most recent blog post, resident artisan Laura Brown walks us through the process of designing and composing a handmade quilt.

Laura Brown writes in Northern Wilds on quilts and how the (mostly) women who've made them are finally getting credit for their creativity and resourcefulness.
