Weave with Norwegian master weavers Eli Vesaas and Ingebjarg Vaagen on a working farm in the Telemark mountains. Each participant weaves fine Spelsau yarn into vadmel cloth during the first week. We full the cloth at a reconstructed water-powered fulling mill on the weekend, and we cut and sew custom designed garments inspired by Norwegian traditions during the second week. Sew your garment with expert guidance as you create a contemporary style with traditional sewing techniques and design details. Custom design and patterning result in a perfect fit. The course is an immersion experience in Norway's rich rural textile culture. Course runs May 30 to June 12, 2010. Visit us online and clicking on kurs (course).
