Join us for a free all-ages workshop during Ephraim City’s Scandinavian Heritage Festival. Come learn traditional Swedish painting techniques as you design your own wooden Dala Horse.
Saturday, May 24, 2025 / 11am – 2pm
Granary Arts, 86 North Main St.
The Swedish Dalecarlian, or Dala Horse started as a child’s plaything, but has evolved into a popular souvenir. They were traditionally hand-carved from wood, a pastime in historical Swedish winters. Many Dala horses from the village of Nusnäs in Sweden were painted red-orange, with decorations in white, blue, green and yellow.
Location: Outside on the lawn at Granary Arts, 86 North Main St. Ephraim.
This workshop is free and open to all.
