Another year has come and gone here at saamisupplies and we can’t be more excited for 2025 to start!
Classes make a great gift anytime of year and we are busy with new opportunities to spread the joy!
We are in the midst of updating our class calendar and we already have some incredible new venues for class offerings. We’ve added The Yarnery in St. Paul, MN where we have our first class offering in the cities in February. You can also find a variety of our kits exclusively at their beautiful new location too. My last class sold out within 24 hours so register here to get in on an amazing day of craft and culture. Register here
What goes great with enjoying a craft beer at your local brewery? Crafting an awesome bracelet! We tried out teaching a few classes at Sylvan Brewery here in Lanesboro, MN last winter and they were such a hit we’re doing it again. We’re getting right back on the teaching trail so you can register here before cabin fever sets in. Register here
Treat yourself to a cosy evening in and register for my online Sølje Earring Class hosted by the American Swedish Institute in Minneapolis, MN. Using components from Sylvsmidja, Norway’s oldest maker of traditional bunad silver jewelry, we’ll create beautiful earrings designed to protect you from being whisked away by the hulder folk!

In other news I’ll be hosting 2 silversmithing classes in May and August at the Vesterheim Folk Art School in Decorah, IA. These classes will go online later this winter so stay tuned for another blog closer to that rollout date.
Can’t make a class because a blizzard or travel has waylaid your plans? Celebrate the Year of the Snake and take our online Viking Snake Braid Bracelet Class on your own time line. In the coming months we will be busy adding additional online courses you can add to your library. These courses will feature a variety of braiding styles I don’t teach in person so you can enjoy a bit of celebrity status to boot.
If you have questions or need clarification on classes or need assistance ordering materials please email me! I’d love to chat with you and I always look forward to photos of your finished projects too.
