Participate in a Swedish tradition for lighting the winter nights. In this class, we will create “islyktor” (ice lights), with natural decorations in our creations. Some of our creations may be used to brighten the street side of the Folk School during the Winter Festival, depending on outdoor temperatures. Warning: you may be exposed to a few Swedish words if you join this class.
This class is recommended for anyone over age 12, preferably those aged 12-18 years old 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.
