Textile Skills

About the Course

We explore the very slow textile craft, which can only be done by hand and without the use of electrical machines.

 

We will explore different textile traditions and techniques, especially weaving, mending, knitting and spinning. ​


Along the way, we enjoy the calm, immersion and presence that arises when we engage in the repetitive, slow and meditative craft.

 

We remove the focus from the results and focus on the process and the joy of creating, both for ourselves and in the community. ​

 

In all courses, we focus on working with recycled materials and raw wool from local sheep. You will thus experience how the existing resources can be transformed into a multitude of functional as well as artistic textile items, as well as the role that traditional and slow craftsmanship can play in a modern world. ​

 

Regardless of whether you are a complete beginner or already have experience with some of the textile pursuits, there will be ample opportunity to be challenged in various ways. ​

 

In the classes, you will be introduced to various techniques, and at the same time have plenty of time to immerse yourself in independent projects.
