Learn Norwegian handicrafts, travel to beautiful sites in Norway while you discover local traditions. Experience how a medieval farm is a perfect classroom. Be a part of a Norwegian community!

On Norwegian handicraft and culture we work with a wide range of materials and techniques. In other words, you will not become a specialist, but will be introduced to many different crafts. We mostly use traditional tools and have a sense of reuse and repair. You will make a lot of beautiful things throughout the fall that you can take home with you!

The course run in collaboration with Stiklestad National Cultural Center which is a 20-minute drive from the school. We have classes both at Stiklestad and in the workshops at the school. At the school, the workshops are open 24 hours a day, and with inspiring classmates and teachers there are good opportunities for nice evening projects.

This is what you may learn: 

In addition to the techniques themselves, you will also learn a lot about the properties and history of the materials. We will also be out in nature collecting materials.
