On the second day we weave repp band on the heddle we made, and you will also have the chance to try weaving tabby weaves on a rigid heddle.

This class will be taught in Swedish.

Nettle spinning and weaving
July 28 - August 1
At Sätergläntan, Dalarna
Come spend a full week of nettle fiber spinning and weaving with me at beautiful Sätergläntan in Dalarna, Sweden! During this week we will be processing nettle fibers from plant to textile and in the process you will also learn how to weave on a rigid heddle and a backstrap loom. Oh and I’ll teach you how to spin on a drop spindle too! I hope this week will offer many hours of sitting in the sun processing fibers, chatting together and having a nice time. This is one of the few classes I offer to teach in both Swedish and English at the same time, so non-swedish speakers are welcome to join!

We will have time to decorate our heddles with paint and carved patterns and I will show you how to weave repp bands, tabby and other varieties of bands on the heddle you made. This class is suitable for both beginners and experienced craftspeople.
This class will be taught in Swedish.
Baltic craft cruise + sashiko class
September 7-9
On the baltic sea, departure from Stockholm.
Come cruise over the baltic sea from Stockholm to Tallinn with me and a bunch of other prolific Swedish crafters! This is a classic cruise setting, on a boat, with food and a 7 hour stop in Tallinn. There will also be craft talks on whittling, carpentry, crochet, knitting, paper flower making and sashiko to attend, and every talk will be followed by an opportunity to try the crafts hands-on! This will be a great opportunity for a crafty getaway with friends, or maybe you will make new friends on the boat: Chances are pretty good that most people there will also love craft!
I will give a presentation on sashiko as a subject and give a practical class on mending with sashiko.
My class +presentation will be in Swedish.
