    Ready for a creative year?

    NB! In this school you choose 2 Main Courses! You get a greater variety and can customize your year even more. Look at the possibilities.

    Do you want an everyday life filled with the joy of creating and being able to work with the material in your hands?

    On this line, you can use your hands and create your own products. Here are the focus areas on the line:

    We will explore different techniques within clay, work on redesigning textiles and giving old textiles new life. We will make crafts from idea to finished product and present and exhibit it, and who knows, maybe sell it?

    Barcelona

    Get inspired by Barcelona's colorful landscapes and some of the world's most iconic works of art.

    We visit famous works of art around Barcelona, participate in creative workshops with Spanish craftsmen, and have the opportunity to transform ideas into art. Here we also hunt for local second-hand shops, while also looking for the best coffee shop in town.

    Copenhagen

    We visit the city's best second-hand shops and exciting markets, and participate in a workshop in ceramics with a local ceramicist. There are also plenty of good coffee places in Denmark's capital! The journey continues to Midelfart and to the ceramics museum CLAY.

    Imagine spending a whole year with creative fellow students!
