On Saturday, November 15th, from 13:00–15:00, Hafnarborg invites Polish-speaking families to take part in a felting workshop led by artist Agata Mickiewicz, where participants will create small wool wall hangings inspired by traditional Polish folk patterns. The workshop languages are Polish, Icelandic, and English.
Let’s explore the enchanting art of felting together! In the workshop, participants will try their hand at the traditional wet-felting technique – using warm water, soap, and friction to intertwine and bind wool fibers into a soft, colorful fabric. Each child will have the chance to design and create their own wall hanging inspired by Polish folk art and culture.
In My Language is an event series aimed at increasing accessibility for people of diverse backgrounds at Hafnarborg by welcoming guests in different languages. The project is supported by the Museum Fund.
The workshop takes place on the museum’s ground floor and is open to all age groups. No prior art experience is required, but children should be accompanied by a parent or guardian. As always, participation in the workshop and access to the museum’s exhibitions are free of charge.
Sobota, 15 listopada, w godz. 13:00-15:00, Hafnarborg zaprasza rodziny polskojęzyczne do udziału w warsztatach filcowania, prowadzonych przez artystkę Agatę Mickiewicz, podczas których uczestnicy stworzą małe wełniane gobeliny inspirowane polskimi wzorami ludowymi. Warsztaty prowadzone są w języku polskim, islandzkim i angielskim.
Poznajmy razem fascynującą sztukę filcowania! Podczas warsztatów uczestnicy spróbują swoich sił w tradycyjnej metodzie filcowania na mokro – używając gorącej wody, mydła i tarcia, aby splątać i zagęszczać wełniane nici w miękką i kolorową tkaninę. Każde dziecko będzie miało okazję zaprojektować i stworzyć własny gobelin, inspirowany polską sztuką i kulturą ludową.
W moim języku to cykl wydarzeń, którego celem jest zwiększenie dostępności Hafnarborg dla osób z różnych środowisk poprzez powitanie gości w różnych językach. Projekt jest finansowany ze środków Funduszu Muzealnego.
Warsztaty odbywają się na parterze muzeum i są otwarte dla wszystkich grup wiekowych. Nie jest wymagane wcześniejsze doświadczenie w filcowaniu, ale dzieciom musi towarzyszyć rodzic lub opiekun. Jak zawsze, udział w warsztatach i wstęp na wystawy muzeum są dla zwiedzających bezpłatne.
