Gammeldags Studio

We who work the farm are Birgith and Pelle Lundgren.

Birgith is a physiotherapist and ergonomist, who after fifteen years of work with physical therapy and ergonomics, changed direction in life and started working with handicraft. Previous training in hand weaving, a skill used only in spare time, became the start of the studio. Go to the studio Birgith is the designer of the spinning tools for sale in the web shop and for the classes in how to take care of the wool.

The next step to living with nature was to get Rya sheep. Today, we also Värmlandsheep at the farm. Together we have ten ewes wich give birth to about two lambs each, per year. Learn more about the sheep. Birgith share the daily work with Pelle.

 

You can find out about my daily activities and thoughts on my blog. Now also in English.

Pelle is the blacksmith, whose ancestors were the eighteen century blacksmiths in Åland (an island between Sweden and Finland in the Baltic Sea. Today Pelle works full time at the farm.

When working on the farm he is responsible for the forest and the grounds. He is also the constructor of gates and equipment for the sheep house and he is responsible for the daily work with the sheep.

In his spare time, Pelle works at the forge, where he compels the iron to every day use objects of his own design, using fire and the blacksmith's hand hammer. He also makes spare parts to Birgith's looms and spinning wheels, and produces the most wonderful spindles, for sale in the web shop.
