WARP & THREAD

A new textile studio with Ida Isak Westerberg!

On February 6, 2026, Havremagasinet opens its new textile studio WARP & THREAD, with artist Ida Isak Westerberg as facilitator.

The idea is for the studio to become an inspiring meeting place where weaving and other textile projects can take shape. The space will include six large looms, each with a specific purpose:

Two looms – Weaving projects, long term (Open Call available via the link below)
Three looms – Two-week booking sessions, for beginners and experienced weavers
One loom – Guestbook, open for all visitors that come to Havremagasinet and wants to try weaving

Before projects and bookings begin, Ida Isak will lead a beginner’s course on how to set up a loom – guiding participants through every step required.

SETTING UP A LOOM – A Beginner’s Course

The course is free of charge and consists of four sessions:

February 14 (Sat) – Warping + pre-threading the reed
February 15 (Sun) – Beaming + threading the heddles

February 21 (Sat) – Sleying the reed + tying on
February 22 (Sun) – Tying up the treadles

You can sign up for all four sessions or select individual ones if you cannot attend them all. Please note: There is a limited number of places. You will be notified about your participation and further details by week 7, 2026.
