As dusk falls, a horrible Faroe Island fjord troll rises from the sea, covered entirely in seaweed and pieces of rock, to terrify adults and children alike with its dreadful appearance.
Welcome to a Nordic illustration workshop, where we will be creating Faroese trolls under the guidance of illustrator Annika Øyrabø.
The event is primarily for groups (registration via Kultus), but we also accept individual visitors if spaces are available. Email amanda.mannstrom@nkk.org for more information.
Times
Group 1: 9:00-10:30
Group 2: 13:00-14:30
About the workshop
In the workshop, participants will take on the role of illustrators themselves, creating their own illustrations of the legendary Faroe Islands fjord troll with its seaweed hair.
The technique used will be collage, and we’ll draw inspiration from the nature of the Faroe Islands. The work will take place in an intuitive and creative space, where we won’t focus on whether the image is ‘correct’—it’s all about being in the moment, working spontaneously, and playing with creativity.
During the workshop, pupils will learn about the Faroe Islands, the role of an illustrator, and the language of colour and form.
The workshop leader, Annika Øyrabø, is a Faroese-Danish illustrator whose illustrated books Strikurnar (The Lines) and Abbi og eg og abbi (Grandpa and Me and Grandpa) have been nominated for the Nordic Council Children and Young People’s Literature Prize.
Annika will run the workshop in English, but it is also suitable for Finnish and Swedish speaking children — we will assist by translating the workshop content for participants.
