KnaST is a small design and interior shop in the heart of Nørrebro. We have been around since 2015, when Anders and Carla first opened the doors to their wonderful universe of handmade furniture and ceramic art.

Today we are a collection of designers and craftsmen who all share the desire to create unique products. Common to all of us is our interest in materials, creativity and craftsmanship translated into a modern Nordic design.

In KNaST everything is locally produced and the products are therefore most often produced in smaller quantities.

“Værkstaden — Made by Anders” offers cutting courses with basic cutting techniques for beginners and easy practitioners. The course provides an introduction to cutting techniques, tools, wood species, safety, shape and design, finishing, as well as advice and experience.

The process goes from raw material to kitchen utensil (spoon or similar). You start by handing over a whole piece of tree trunk, where we practice the splitting technique with an ax - and to make the tree split the way we want it. Then we proceed to the drawing up and rough chopping of the spoon (or similar. kitchen utensil) with an ax, after which the cutting process itself starts.

Various techniques will be shown -- both cutting on clamped materials and on hand-held ones.

Among other things, you will work with an axe, a chopping knife, a cutting knife, a bay knife, a ribbon knife and a spoon knife.

All tools and materials are provided and we aim to ensure that all students receive at least one finished product.



Classes take place on selected days


Level: Beginner

New cut dates are updated continuously.

COURSE - Carv a wooden spoon

Would you like to explore the traditional and creative art of pattern cutting *carvsection*? - So join us on a journey to the more artistic part of the cutting world when we hold a brand new course format in decorative pattern cutting.

The course provides an introduction to the traditional craft of carving patterns, words or images into wood. The ancient art - also called *karvsnit* or *scureut* - can be used to decorate just about anything in wood - from grandma's old jewelry box to your favorite spoon or stool. You can also venture into the art of printing images with pattern relief, just as we know it from linoleum printing. It's pretty much just the imagination that sets the limits.

During the course you will be introduced to various drawing pricips, tools and special relief sectioning techniques. We start from scratch so that everyone can join - beginner as practiced. During the course, we will review, for example, which techniques are used to achieve a relief effect and pattern-forming play between light and shadow, which knife is best for which patterns and which types of wood work best for this type of cutting art.

Cut material (wood) will be handed out at the start of the course, but if you have something (in wood) that you would like to decorate, feel free to bring it.

A special cutting knife can be purchased at the end of the course. So you can move on at home.

CUT A PATTERN

The workshop — Made by Anders now offers the cutting course CUT EN STOOL, where you cut your own stool in cherry wood step by step over two courses, lasting 5.5 hours.

During the course you will gain a basic approach to the cutting tools and techniques used to produce the stool. You will learn, among other things, to understand and work with the veining directions of wood and the technique of wedge assembly and relief sections of surfaces.

The course is based on the fact that you can subsequently make the same or similar projects at home without necessarily having access to a large workshop.

All tools and materials are provided and we aim for you to bring your own finished stool to your home.
