Lara Reisigl Domeneghetti presents From Birch to Walrus Tusk: Reconstructing the Tylldal Chair across Media and Territories. Through practice-based reconstruction and comparative material analysis, this presentation examines the Tylldal Chair as a birch “ivory” throne — linking Nidaros cathedral sculpture, walrus-tusk carving, and portable ecclesiastical furniture. The focus lies on tools, surfaces, and how craft knowledge traveled across media, workshops, and North Atlantic territories. Register for the free Zoom link here.
