Who is Svetlonoska?

My business is located in Bergen, Norway, but I am not a native Norwegian. As you may have guessed, my name Lucia means "Light carrier", which translates to Svetlonoska in my mother tongue Slovak.

I have been weaving since 2015 and made over 1000 bands and belts (and then stopped counting).

I focus on sustaining traditional weaving technique called tablet weaving, or brikkevev. I am also doing other handicrafts including yarn processing - spinning and plant dyeing. Ecology and animal welfare are my main guidelines when choosing materials for my projects. I like buying my supplies from second hand, too. I occasionally teach tablet weaving as well.

My main sources of inspiration are historical textiles, folklore, mythology and underground music.
