SUMMARY:Workshop: sara lundén: theory and craft of finnish ryijy heritage
DESCRIPTION:The textile expert and practitioner Sara Lundén is travel
 ling to Central-Europe in November. Her trip will include a stop at _n
 annatextiles in Stuttgart, Germany. 

Nanna is pleased to announce the
  brief Sara-Ryijy-Course at her studio-workshop on 9 November. The cou
 rse fee includes Sara’s introductory lecture, her instruction, hando
 uts, all necessary Ryijy-material and “Swabian Vesper” (salad, veg
 gies, bread, cheese, hummus, nuts, fruit, tea and water). 

On the pho
 to the green and brown wool-pile of a Ryijy is visible. The pile has, 
 depending on a Ryijy-design, different lengts, mixtures and thickness 
 of yarn. Innovative material, like electric cable, can also be used as
  pile. The back side gives information on the technique of Ryijy-craft
 ing, alternate rows of grey and green can be distinguised. 

Today a R
 yijy-artisan may sit at a loom, but does not have to, in order to work
  simultaneously on knotting the pile and weaving the inbetween rows of
  the base-material. If no loom is available, it is fully acceptable to
  use handwoven Ryijy-base-material and to separately knot the design o
 n it. There are still plenty of parameters that a designer or artisan 
 can vary and manipulate, in order to create an individual piece of art
 . Not everyone in today's Finland owns a loom. It takes up space in ci
 ty-apartments. 
 
During ETAK 2023 (European Artistic Crafts Days) in 
 spring 2023  Nanna experienced a fruitful collaboration with the reput
 able Ryijy-educator and wool-promoter Jenni Vanhane. She is based in N
 ummela, Finland. Jenni teaches at e.g. Wetterhoff in Hämeenlinna, Fin
 land, and her method and aim in modernizing the Ryijy-heritage in Finl
 and includes the use of a computer software program. In Jenni's adapti
 on color-variations and mixture of color hues are the focus, not the b
 ase-material.

Sara is a textile expert and fierce researcher with a s
 trong background in textile design. Her expertise and experience in we
 aving and her passion for teaching makes Sara a valued instructor. Sar
 a widely researches traditional textile heritage techniques, especiall
 y those related to patterns and weaving.

Sara delves in historical ar
 chives and closely studies textile objects to unravel forgotten or unk
 nown methods of making. She works like a detective. Her contacts to mu
 seum collections further showcases her dedication in reviving and docu
 menting traditional textile topics.

Please join Sara’s class if you
  are interested in historical and practical aspects of Ryijy textile a
 rt. Participants gain hands-on experience in the crafting method. No p
 rior textile skills are needed. The finishing of the Ryijy can be cont
 inued at home, if the time is too short in class. You will be given al
 l needed material for finishing your piece at home. The language of in
 struction is English. Nanna is present throughout the class and can ex
 plain the working-steps into German.
