## About

In January, ASI's monthly handcraft class for kindergarten through second grade introduces embroidery. Anna Ruhland teaches beginner embroidery and sewing on felt, and each child stitches their own Dala horse decoration, the painted wooden horse that is a symbol of Sweden. Drop-off program: adults may not accompany children.
