- **Event Description**: Join presenter Betty Oldham for an exploration of Hardanger embroidery, a striking form of Norwegian cutwork with roots reaching back through earlier Asian and European needlework traditions. In Norway's Hardanger region, embroiderers refined the distinctive open, geometric techniques that would come to decorate everything from everyday clothing to treasured household linens.

When Norwegian immigrants settled in North America, they carried the tradition with them, and it continued to evolve into the Hardanger embroidery recognized today. Betty will trace that journey, from the earliest delicate silk and gauze lace through to the crisp linen and cotton work of more recent generations.

A generous selection of Hardanger embroidered linens and clothing will be on display, and the evening includes a visit to the Norwegian Laft Hus embroidery collection. Whether you have stitched for years or simply love beautiful handwork, there is something here to admire.

This Art Speaks is free as part of our celebration of Alberta Culture Days. We'll be learning together from 630-8pm, everyone is welcome to attend.
