Photograph of Karin's house in the forest on a clear winter's day. The dark-stained house with a red veranda stands to the left among spruce and birch, with the red wall of the atelier to the right and a grassy clearing in between.

A place for creation and inspiration

We want Karin's house to become a place where artists can live and work in calm and inspiring surroundings. The house is to offer room for immersion, creation and new ideas – a place where you can find both quiet to work and artistic energy.

Pictures from the house

Stiftelsen Tekstilkunstner Karin Sundbye (ST-KS) is working to restore Karin's former home and atelier, with the aim of creating an inspiring place of work for artists in development.

With a workshop, ample space and closeness to nature and quiet, we hope the house can become a place for development, reflection and creative work.

It will soon be possible to apply for a residency here; in the meantime, take a look at the plans for the house and how it looks today.
