Ida Hagen
Textiles and yarn have always fascinated me, and my work is the result of exploration and experiments with materials, colours, volume, and textures.
Q&A
Artist Statement
I completed my textile studies at Capellagården in Sweden in 2022, and I do everything from weaving and knitting to spinning, felting and sewing. I also work sculpturally in various scales. My work has been exhibited in Norway, Sweden and South-Korea.
What craft do you work with?
In my textiles practice I juggle between making art and utility items, and I want to contribute to giving hand made everyday textiles the extra attention they deserve.
What inspires you to work with this craft?
The colours are inspired by the northern lights’ wavy movements across the sky, much like the gradient patterns in the textiles.
Are there new techniques you would like to try?
The design of my series of Fiber Lines textiles is based on my own interpretation of the traditional weaving technique ‘halvdreiel’, a simplified overshot pattern

Simos Antoniadis – ULURU
As a trained architect and designer, I tend to obsess with forms and textures -contrary to freeform creations- mainly using the wheel to shape, trim and create utility & decorative items. Objects that look industrial but feel handmade.
