September Program - Finnish American Rag Rug Weavers

The film "Finnish American Rag Rug Weavers" is a documentary that preserves the stories, skills, and traditions of Finnish immigrants and their descendants who transformed scraps of cloth into beautiful, durable rag rugs. Through personal interviews, demonstrations, and cultural context, the film highlights how this practical craft became an enduring symbol of heritage, resourcefulness, and creativity in Finnish American homes.

The film will be followed by a Q & A by Martha "Tooty" Wilson.
