Masker i Marsken – 27. til 29. oktober

Denmark's new knitting festival - Masks in the Marsh

Masker, mindfulness og Marsken hænger sammen i skøn forening, når alle strikkeres drøm om en fantastisk festival går i opfyldelse fra fredag den 27. til søndag den 29. oktober.

Knitting clears the brain, stabilizes blood pressure and prevents stress. It is widely known and so it is a wonderful hobby that unites young and old. Masks in Marsken take place in and around Tøndermarsken, primarily in Højer and Ballum, but there will also be activities and events in Tønder, Skærbæk and Løgumkloster.

You buy a partout or day ticket, and then you can buy tickets for workshops and lectures, for example a combined lecture/workshop on craft psychology by artisan, needlework teacher and psychologist Anne Kirketerp, who explains why you feel so good when you knit. Or a workshop with Lærke Bagger, who is known for tying knots and using lots of yarn scraps in his designs. You can also participate in morning yoga and morning singing, go on a yarn-tastic experience among the many exhibitor stands, rest your legs in knitting salons and much, much more.
