The Almanac: Folk Crafts & Culture Exhibition

Step inside Fydell House ahead of its official reopening and discover The Almanac: Folk Crafts & Culture — an exhibition celebrating traditional craft, contemporary creativity, and cultural exchange.

This exhibition brings together work created by participants during a series of artist-led workshops inspired by Central and Eastern European folk traditions. Across embroidery, wool felting, and traditional straw crafts, the pieces on display explore the beauty and meaning of flower motifs, reflecting themes of nature, protection, and the rhythms of life.

Each artwork carries its own story, shaped by the individual experiences and ideas of the people who made them. Together, they create a rich collection that connects different cultures and traditions, while also reflecting Boston’s own heritage and creative community.

Set within the historic surroundings of Fydell House, the exhibition also draws inspiration from the building itself—creating a dialogue between past and present, and between global traditions and the local landscape.

Whether you’re interested in craft, heritage, or simply curious to explore the space, you’re warmly invited to drop in.
