SOLD OUT Craft and Cocktails: Intro to Kolrosing

Long ago, people discovered that if they scratched hard-to-see patterns into wood and filled the scratches with dirt, the patterns would magically appear more vivid. Eventually this decorative technique, used on woodenware across Scandinavia since at least Viking times, adopted the name kolrosing (literally “coal-writing”) for the common use of coal dust as the colorant. This Craft and Cocktails workshop will introduce basic kolrosing tools and techniques while students enjoy a signature drink from FIKA café. Students will leave with a small wooden trivet and a new appreciation for this age-old decorative technique!
