Luisa is a textile artist with a penchant for reuse, traditional techniques and the extra nerdy stuff. Since 2019, she has been running Lararium where, in addition to offering courses, she does consulting in cultural history and traditional crafts, as well as working with her own textile art projects. She has a MA in Cultural Studies and has also worked with project and process management in various forms. She has carried textile craft with her all her life, with alternating focus on crafts like knitting, sewing, handspinning and embroidery. Luisa sees the process itself as at least as important as the final product. That through the work of your hands you learn more about the material and the techniques than you can ever read about. Luisa offers workshops in several different textile techniques, all with the goal that you create a finished item with your own hands and that in creating you can let your head take a break for a while.
