“I sat with my family around the dinner table, they aren’t creatives, and my interests and art making are sometimes strange to them. I told them that I could knit! My sister Lina couldn’t believe it and the rest of the family completely lost it. I ended up demonstrating my unique style of finger foot knitting to them” – Annika Strand

Inspired by Artist in Residence project 花弁 Hanabira (Gentle Petal), Annika will be teaching visitors how to create beautiful knitted-works of art using the finger-knitting technique.

Designed to be inclusive for people with all abilities, this workshop draws on Annika’s lived experience as an artist who also has Cerebral Palsy.
