Swedish Craft Schools

Lately, whipup has been having a Swedish-fest.

I’m not sorry.  I have a real thing for Swedish style. Including IKEA.

And apparently, the Swedes know how to do life enrichment.  They have traditional craft schools.  Look at this list of short courses offered at Saterglanten, with pictures of all the lovely skills (and I like that bodice that girl is wearing!).  And I really want to try making woven fences and plant trellises like that for my garden!  If it wasn’t for the cost, the language, the airtravel offsets…I’d be there.  It’s summer camp for Greet’s.  And it’s not the only one.  Here’s Capellagarden, which is just beautiful.

  1. OK, Greet, we need to start a “summer camp fund” for the two of us! Maybe when we win the lottery! LOL!! I would be so there with you!
    Greet: Mel – clearly what we ought to do is start a “Sweden South” craft school. I’ve messed about with those woven plant supports, and found that God did indeed have a purpose for *&$%ed Virginia Creeper vine. (You’re supposed to make tomato cages out of it. ‘Twil be a future post.) At any rate – I bet we could get pretty far on guts, naivete, and the internet. Plus it’d be in English, mostly. ;D
