Everybody worked so well yesterday evening! 😊 At the end of the 2-hour workshop, Tara, Nina and Aviaja left with their 10 pieces of handmade recycled paper. We started with blue and pink, and by adding old paper and paint, the colors changed page after page to green and orange. Thank you all for this funny and friendly moment!

It is possible to book this workshop at the date of your choice for 1 to 4 participants (link in bio). I am currently in Denmark, but I'm travelling around with all my stuff, so check if I am in your region sometime... or ask me to come! 😂

It took me a few days with this bag in my kitchen to realise that "Brotkultur" sounds a bit like "broddgöltur"... 😂However broddgöltur has nothing to do with Brot/bread nor with Kultur/culture. It is the Icelandic word for hedgehog, litteraly something like "sting-pig", similar roots as "pindsvin" in Danish. I learnt this word in the beginning of my stay in Iceland in 2012, and chose it as a name for my brand because of my book foldings that looked like hedgehogs. Furthermore, my logo was drawn after this and represents a book hedgehog. Note that there are no real hedgehogs in Iceland, so the word is not used very frequently in everyday life...

One of my customers sent me this photo after installing my book lamps at his place. I think it fits pretty well in this cozy reading corner with an armchair, a coffee table and some bookshelves!

I started to make lamps from old books one year ago. Most of them were sold in #aarhus #denmark on #ingerslevsmarked or #aarhusjulemarked . Now I have new lamps, I am back in Aarhus, and I receive compliments from the customers who bought one last year! Nine new lamps are available: pendant lamps or table lamps, from 190 pages to 480 pages, from books in French or in Danish. Each item is unique. For sale on my Etsy shop (www.etsy.com/shop/broddgoltur?section_id=26352912), on Ingerslevsmarked or by private message.
