WEEK 4 - 2026:

In these wool workshops, we use the wool from the sheep at Dalseter - so it is as locally sourced as it gets. The sheep at Dalseter are of an old Norwegian breed (commonly called Norwegian Wild Sheep) - and have natural color variations from very light to completely black.

In week 4, the workshops will mainly take place in the afternoon after lunch, so you have the whole morning to be out skiing or snowshoeing if you wish.

Workshop 1: Dogmestrik

Dogma Knitting is a tribute to authenticity, presence, and creativity within limitations.
Using raw materials and traditional knitting techniques, dogma knitting embraces the process. It’s a practice that invites us to pause, become aware of the material in our hands, and spend time with our thoughts while creating something meaningful with gentle care.

The wool we will be working with are from the wonderful sheep here at Dalseter, giving us the opportunity to connect with wholly natural and locally sourced materials.

During the workshop, you will get to design and knit your own wrist warmers - perfect for the cold days!

No personal material needed. However, if you have a favorite pair of knitting needles, feel free to bring them!

All levels welcome! Previous knitting experience is helpful, but don’t worry, we’ll have time to go over the basics.

Anne is originally from Denmark, she has a bachelor's degree in Clothing and Costume Design from the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, and is passionate about the use of natural wool.

PRICE:
NOK 500 per workshop – if you attend both, the total price is NOK 800.

Workshop 2: Wet felting

In this workshop you will be introduced to wet felting 

We will felt with untouched wool from the sheep at Dalseter, and get very close to the natural materials. Wet felting is a tribute to the slow work and forces us to a material awareness and to sit still for a while with our thoughts, the material and our slow working hands.

You will get introduced to the various techniques and utilise the resources that are available, close to where we live and reside.

Wet felting is a slow process where the wool binds together through friction between your hands, water and soap. No personal material needed.

At the workshop you get to felt wrist warmers or seat pads you can bring home with you.
