Back to school

Yes. School is back! It started in the end of august, so it has been super-busy times. I just finished a course called Tilraunahús or experiment house. We all had to pick a village anywhere in the world that we didn’t know much about. I opened a world atlas with eyes closed and pointed at Sakhalin, Russia’s largest island. I had no clue what I was getting into since I had never heard of this place before! Exciting!

The course was about doing all sorts of experiments with materials and ideas, working quickly and making your hands think, not your brain.

I found a really interesting tribe called Ainu, pay attention to the lip tattoo’s the women have. Amazing.

The final outcome was a seat that we had less then a week to make.

My seat is called Zola witch means Ash in russian. It’s made from Siberian larch, hand knotted stings and bamboo. The black wood is made this way with a special ancient Japanese method.
