Weaver, artist, and designer Ida Hagen completed her textile studies at Capellagården in Sweden in 2022. Her work is the result of exploration and experiments with materials, colors, techniques, and textures. In her practice she juggles between art and utility items, mastering everything from weaving and knitting to spinning, felting, and dyeing. She also works sculpturally in various scales. As a colorist, she is concerned with the power and impact of color on us all, something she consciously works with in everything she does. Her work has been exhibited in Norway, Sweden, Italy and South Korea.

Planned projects and exhibitions
– Reuse and sustainability is very important to me, and I am currently actively working on upcycling materials to contribute to environmental awareness and the continuation of a red-listed craft tradition, namely handweaving with rags.
– Take various workshops, so that I can learn more techniques and further develop myself as a weaver, craftsperson and designer.
