Throughout your visit to the Festival you'll see many demonstrations of
Scandinavian crafts being done. This woman displays and demonstrates how to do hardanger
lace; the art of picking apart a portion of fabric and re-working it into traditional
designs. Examples in this photograph include not only the piece she's working on, but also
can be seen on her collar, cuffs, and frontpiece of her blouse. In today's age of
machine-made clothing actually seeing the work and time that goes into quality hand-crafts
is both educational and inspirational-especially for children.
