Projects that give craft a way forward.
From our own products to collaboration on Torvgaten: we work to keep knowledge in use, make producers visible and help more Norwegian-produced goods reach customers.
Local work grows stronger together.
Fibershed Norge
Through membership and involvement in Fibershed Norge, we connect materials, producers and textile knowledge. Carrie is regional coordinator for Sørlandet.
We participate in the network for craft and small-scale production in Agder, with an interest in collaboration, local food and the route from product to market.
As a member, we contribute to a lively Torvgaten. Carrie is deputy chair and helps coordinate meeting places and develop the street as somewhere to shop and visit.
Carrie combines a background in project management, contracts and business development with practical experience as a producer and retailer. This supports collaboration on products, sharing knowledge and local development.
Finding producers, examining materials and origins, and developing a selection with known makers. The shop provides a practical setting for trying products, presentation and customer dialogue.
Building relationships with local and Norwegian food producers. The first step is a small selection of shelf-stable, packaged goods, making local production easier to discover and buy.
Products with Norwegian and regional origins, with the producer kept visible. We are developing ideas, materials and presentation that connect the product to the person and place behind it.
An independent linen-top project using linen woven in Norway, exploring historical methods and the material’s journey from soil to garment and back. It is distinct from our other craft and dye research.
Separate investigations into lesser-known crafts, natural materials and plant dyes. This experimental work allows time to learn before ideas may become products or activities.
The Torvgaten craft market on 4 July 2026 brought together sales, demonstrations and activities. Carrie worked on project leadership, exhibitors, coordination and delivery. The experience informs our continuing work for craft and the street.
Online boutique: a digital extension of the Torvgaten shop. Payment and delivery are being prepared before opening.
Small classes and making: planned activities in sewing, felting and embroidery. A small stretch-jeans hemming class is planned for a maximum of three people. Dates and booking will be announced when ready.
New producers and products: continuing work on Norwegian-produced goods, tools and food, starting small and testing in practice.
