Taking cues from psychogeography, a method for exploring everyday landscapes, this workshop asks: what is the fabric of your own everyday life? Together with designer and writer Karie Westermann, you will investigate what knitting means to you and how knitting can be used a creative exploration tool. From fields and mountains to concrete high-rises, Knitting the Landscape is a way to connect with places you've been or yearn to visit.

This class is suitable for beginner knitters and upwards. Please arm yourself with scraps of yarn, suitable needles, pen/paper and an open mind.

Karie Westermann is an award-winning writer, teacher and knitwear designer living in Glasgow, Scotland. She usually describes her day job as ‘doing things with wool and words’ and maintains that knitting is more than just something that keeps us warm. It is social commentary and social history.

She has taught extensively throughout the UK and Europe, including Ireland, Germany, Iceland and Norway. Karie is also a regular contributor to knitting magazines and podcasts, and maintains a lively social media presense as @kariebookish.

Her first book, This Thing of Paper, was published in 2017 and was inspired by medieval manuscrpts and printed books. It was the first knitting book to be added to the archives at the Gutenberg Museum in Mainz, Germany.
