In the Making: Slöyd Experience

On Thursday, January 11, 2024, we hosted a virtual conversation with Luke and Allison Johanson of Slöyd Experience, a nonprofit whose mission is to strengthen children’s character through woodworking. Their program has become an official Community Partner of the Boulder Valley School District in Colorado, and every 2nd and 5th grader at their local elementary school participates in an hour-long Slöyd session each week.
North Bennet has deep ties with sloyd: this manual arts training movement known in Sweden as Educational Slöyd was brought to this country in large part through the efforts of the school’s founder, Pauline Agassiz Shaw, and is still part of our educational philosophy today.

This conversation is part of In the Making, a public programs series where we connect with a range of new voices, fields, and perspectives. Learn more: nbss.edu/news-events/in-the-m...
