Secure Your Spot – Symbols and Symbolism in Norwegian Knitting and Craft
Join us February 25–28, 2027, for a deep exploration of symbolism in Norwegian knitting, craft and cultural traditions.
In 2027, we turn our attention to meaning.
To the symbols woven into traditional motifs.
To patterns that have travelled through time.
To shapes that once carried protection, identity, belief and belonging.
We will explore how symbols shift across regions and generations. How meanings change. And how something decorative can also carry deep cultural significance.
This retreat will blend history, reflection, technique and storytelling – with space to think, question and knit along the way.
Full Retreat Access
$156 USD – At sign up. Second payment of $156 USD 1 month later.
