Time for an introduction
Hello! Thank you for being here. My name is Elena Lundqvist Ortíz, and I am the founder of the non-profit organization EARTH WEAVERS. For the past 5 years I have been working on becoming more self-sufficient, living from local ressources, crafting with natural materials and creating the things that I need by hand - while inviting others in to do the same, in monthly workshops in our nature oasis, Skovhaven.
My dream is to be free and self-sufficient, so that I can do the things that I love, be with my family and friends, and in nature as much as possible - and create the possibility for more people to do that.
We meet and share skills in workshops on a monthly basis, all year round. So far we have learned to: garden, weave baskets, make soap and shampoo, forage, repair clothing, spin wool, knit make string from plants, bind notebooks and much more.
If you feel called to participate, and learn how to make things yourself, you are more than welcome. We are open to all genders, cultures, ages etc. Children are also often present, and I think it is very important that our little ones learn these basic skills along with us.
The membership is 250 DKK / month, and you will both get a full day workshop immersed in nature, lunch, connections with like-minded and something to bring with you home.
In the picture, I am wearing my newest creation - the elf dress - wild-knitted by hand with 100% mohair and a few nettle notes. I do bespoke pieces, so let me know if you feel called to have your own knitted dress. See more of this work on @meadow_twig. I love being inspired and feeling on fire with a lot of drive to create.
Reach out if you have questions, inquiries or want to collaborate on something.
