The public is invited to "Winter Crafts" Monday, Jan. 20, 9 a.m.-4 p.m. at the North Dakota Heritage Center & State Museum in Bismarck. Make traditional crafts and learn about ways Scandinavians shaped the cultural heritage of the state.

Artisans have passed down their expertise from one generation to the next. Use traditional techniques such as rosemaling and paper cutting to make a craft to take home, or create a charming pinecone gnome. Materials will be provided. All ages are welcome, and activities will be modified for different age groups.

For more information, contact Education and Engagement Manager Laura Forde, shsprograms@nd.gov or 701.328.2792. The ND Heritage Center & State Museum is open Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-5 p.m., and Saturday-Sunday, 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Find upcoming State Historical Society events at history.nd.gov/events.
