Design workshop at Salhus Tricotagefabrik

Inspired by the former Salhus Tricotagefabrik we will create our own designs for knitting projects and other fibre arts. We will observe the factory, its machinery and historic samples as well as the surrounding landscape and fjord views.

How can we translate our observations into design ideas?
What are we inspired to create - structures, colours, shapes? Together, we will discuss our creative processes, the historical site and how to find inspiration.
