Det Vilde Spinderi

Unique textile residency Deadline: 23 Aug 2026 Country: Denmark Our residency program offers a unique opportunity for artists and creatives to immerse themselves in a supportive and inspiring environment. We believe in fostering a community of collaboration and innovation. The studio and the workshops are integrated in a micro wool spinning mill focusing on transferring local wool into yarn and carded wool. Employees and volunteers will be working in the mill week days. You are welcome to join their work and to learn from them. Duration of residency Between one and three months Accommodation At Det Vilde Spinderi, we are committed to providing our residents with not only a creative workspace but also comfortable living accommodations. We are pleased to collaborate with K12 and with Rødekro, conveniently located just a 10-minute walk from our workshop. K12 is a charming old house, with a cozy atmosphere and creative milieu, offering our residents a warm and inspiring environment to relax and rejuvenate after a day’s work. Røde Kro is a house run by a small local socio-economic café and hotel. In both accommodations there are rooms for three residents in single rooms, there are shared living room, kitchen and bathroom. Disciplines, work equipment and assistance Through our residency program, participants have access to dedicated studio space, where you can engage with like-minded individuals (we aim to having 3-5 residents at the same time), exchange ideas, and gain new perspectives.
