About this event
Come learn to make your own small straw Yule Goat ornament! Two time slots available!
The Yule Goat is an iconic Nordic figure. Ranging in size from just a few centimeters to 10 meters tall, the straw goat is seen throughout the Nordic countries, especially in Sweden, come Christmas time. Join us in making your own small straw Yule Goat ornament to adorn your home this holiday season! In this class we will dip our toes into the world of straw work, a craft that has been practiced in the Nordic countries for generations.
