Dream of sewing and knitting your own clothes, being in a creative environment, and finding your own style? You’ll learn various techniques and create your own wardrobe!

From Scratch

In Creative Sewing, you’ll learn to make your own clothes from scratch—no prior experience needed! This course is perfect for those passionate about sewing and creativity. A year at Fjordane gives you valuable skills you’ll use for life.

We have a dedicated sewing room open day and night, with each student having their own sewing machine. The year ends with a fashion show where you showcase your new wardrobe.

Seeking Inspiration

We love gaining new knowledge and inspiration. That’s why we travel—both locally in Nordfjord and on longer trips. We’ll also go treasure hunting in second-hand shops, searching for forgotten gems ready for a new life in your hands!

Creating your own wardrobe naturally includes creative knitting. Knitting can be intricate, playful, simple, meditative, relaxing, creative, or structured—it’s up to you!

Collaboration with Other Courses:

Art: Ceramics
Viking Life: Historical hand-sewing, tablet weaving, and felting

Other creative courses at Fjordane: musical theatre, art, and circus—perfect for electives or inspiration!

Between the rough North Sea and the majestic Jostedalsbreen glacier lies our folk high school – nestled in what we fondly call our "Heartplace". Nordfjordeid is just the right size. Big enough to offer everything you need, small enough to feel like it is all yours.

With 11 exciting courses, you will have the chance to discover new sides of yourself, try things you never have done before – or delve deeper into what you already love. Our dedicated teachers are passionate about their fields and want you to feel the same excitement.

Maybe your dream is to stand on a stage – as a circus artist, singer, or actor? Maybe you want to immerse yourself in the Viking history? Maybe you want a horse of your own or to work with horses? Maybe you love creating art with your hands or want to give new life to your grandmother’s old dress?

Or maybe you simply want to experience the raw nature of Western Norway and learn to stand on your own two feet? At Fjordane Folk High School, you can do all this while making a difference. 💚

Throughout the year, we participate in projects that give back to others, fostering a warmer, more inclusive community. One highlight is our study trip to the Philippines, which is part of our "Project Philippines" initiative.

Join us in creating your best year, filled with growth, joy, and friendship.
