WORKSHOP: DESIGN TECHNIQUES FOR KNITTERS - STRAIGHT FROM BAUHAUS VED LORET KARMAN

Bemærk! Denne workshop foregår på engelsk.
Please note! This workshop is in English.

Bauhaus was a German art school, operational from 1919 to 1933 that combined crafts and fine arts. The school became famous for its approach to design.

Bauhaus had a profound influence on education. Loret Karman was trained in the ’70 to use design techniques from the so called “Vorshule”, the first year’s program that all Bauhaus students had to go through. These techniques, translated to textiles and knitting are very inspiring for knitters who want to create their own designs.

This class is all about these (analogue) design methods. During this 3-hour class you will produce a lot of designs that can later be used to work on new projects.

The class is open to all levels of students.

Please bring:
A sketchbook
A pair of scissors (to cut paper)
Glue
Drawing pencil.

Coffee/tea and a small snack are included in the price.

Language: English and/or Dutch.

Teacher: Loret Karman, The Netherlands
My name is Loret Karman, and I am head of knitting academy De Amsterdamse Steek, which teaches knitting and dyeing at all levels. Transferring subject knowledge and motivating students to rise above themselves in their work is as important to me as continuing to develop my own skills in this field. That I refer to the school as an academy shows my ambition: hand knitting and dyeing on an academic level. Studying, researching, comparing, describing and naming those on whose shoulders we stand is important to me.

Right now, I am involved, by both designers and museums, in researching and implementing projects that involve dyeing small amounts and knitting one-off pieces.
