Drømmer du om å lage egne ting? Vil du lære håndverk fra scratch? Lage produkter for salg? Her får du jobbe med prosessen fra idé til ferdig produkt. Du har tilgang til godt utstyrte verksteder, og best av alt: praktisk undervisning. Du lærer gjennom å lage egne produkter!

Keramikk

Mesteparten av året jobber du med keramikk. Du lærer å dreie, forme og bygge med leire. Vi brenner og glaserer i egne ovner. Du kan lage ting du kan bruke – kaffekopper, serveringsfat, skåler, lysestaker – eller jobbe mer fritt og lage figurer og former med uttrykk.

Du lærer både teknikk og materialforståelse, og får mye tid til å jobbe med egne ideer. Mange lager sine egne serviser, gaver til venner eller produkter som stilles ut eller selges.

Sølv og smykkearbeid

Du lærer teknikker i sølv og andre metaller. Du saver, filer, lodder og polerer – og før du vet ordet av det, har du laget en ring, et kjede eller ørepynt som er helt unikt. Kanskje til deg selv, eller til noen du er glad i? Smykkene du lager kan være både vakre og personlige – og du vil oppleve mestring fra dag én.

Tekstil og redesign

I tekstildelen får du jobbe med både gammelt og nytt. Du lærer å bruke symaskin, sy enkle plagg, reparere klær og gi nytt liv til tekstiler som ellers ville blitt kastet. Vi strikker, broderer, hekler og maler på stoff. Mange syr vesker, lager interiør eller prøver seg på egne klesplagg. Redesign er både kreativt, gøy og bærekraftig.

 

 

At Bakketun, you’ll get to explore your interests, try new things and become part of a warm, inclusive community. Early in the school year, we go on a shared trip to Spain – the perfect way to get to know each other and kickstart an unforgettable year.

You’ll meet teachers who care, support you and encourage you to take chances. You’ll have space to reflect, discover what matters to you, and grow both personally and academically. A year at Bakketun gives you direction, confidence and meaningful experiences – preparing you for further studies, work, and life ahead.

Explore and combine

Choose between several exciting programs and a wide range of electives. Are you active and adventurous, or creative and curious? You don’t have to choose one or the other – at Bakketun, you can combine, explore, and find your own balance.

We’re surrounded by mountains, forest, sea and small-town life. You’ll feel the thrill of a mountain hike, the peace of the woods, the wind on a surfboard and the laughter around a campfire. Some days challenge you – others are just about enjoying the moment together.

A real community

What students remember most about Bakketun is the people. You’ll be part of a safe and supportive community where everyone matters. You’ll make friends to laugh with, grow with, and share everyday life with – friends who cheer you on when you try something new.

You’ll live close to others, share meals, trips, and everyday moments. The community you become part of leaves a mark – and often lasts a lifetime.

Welcome to Bakketun – a year that might mean more than you expect.

The best part was the freedom to explore different materials and having access to the workshops at all times. My year in Arts & Crafts gave me the confidence to apply for the Teacher Education in Design, Art and Crafts at OsloMet the following year.

A year in Arts & Crafts gave me a broad creative experience and friends for life. I’ve tried everything from sewing sheepskin to making silver rings. The highlights were two amazing study trips – to Morocco and New York with top-notch programs.

Here, I learned new things without worrying about grades. I loved the program! I was challenged with new materials and techniques, and had 24/7 access to the workshops. We worked well together, learned from a great teacher – and each other. The study
