| Description | Al and Nora Anderson's ‘Tine' (Norwegian oval boxes) are part of a family craft tradition brought by the Anderson family to the United States from Norway. Mr. Anderson learned directly from his Norwegian-born father, who moved to Tacoma from Wisconsin, and he and Mrs. Anderson make them at their home in Wauna. Tines were used in Norway as lunch boxes for farmers and herders. Today, they have like most traditional baskets, transmuted from utility to art, and they are collected and displayed by ethnic-conscious Norwegian-Americans. Mrs. Anderson began helping her husband when his eyesight began to fail. |
