Bye Bye Brenda in Løgumkloster Church

On January 10, 2025, Bye Bye Brenda's debut album Landmarks was released. A result of the collaboration between Stine Bramsen and Kajsa Vala, which GAFFA has previously called “a perfect match” and Politiken “a new power duo in Danish music”. Bye Bye Brenda writes songs, with an intimate vibe, which goes deep and hits wide. Inspired by names like Kacey Musgraves, Bon Iver and Phoebe Bridgers. The duo has played numerous concerts in 2025 and has several scheduled for spring 2026. Now we are really happy to have them on the poster for Masks in the Marsh 2026. It has gradually become a tradition that Saturday night at Masker i Marsken equals beautiful concert experiences with some of Denmark's great voices and this year is certainly no exception. We are very excited to welcome Stine Bramsen and Kajsa Vala to Løgumkloster Church.

Knitting for beginners

*Now we are launching a workshop course in beginner knitwear 😎 * We have been asked several times about where to go if you are an adult and would like to learn how to knit and do not know anyone who can help. Often we have not known what to answer, but now we have found a solution — we simply launch our own course. Together with several of our skilled craftsmen — and based on our knowledge from teaching young people to knit at high school — we have put together a program that is both educational and fun. The course spans three evenings in April/May and in addition to learning how to knit, we will also make you smarter about the materials you can work with. What sticks work best for you, what types of yarn are good for scarves, what should I choose if I think everything is scratching, etc. All of these things we will help you become smarter about. The workshop series is held in collaboration with Slusen Højer, who provides coffee and cake all three times ☕ We would like to teach in smaller teams, so don't wait too long to sign up. *We reserve the right to cancel if there are too few enrollees. * *Dates: * Thursday, April 23, 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Thursday, April 30, 7:00 p.m. - 9:00 p.m. Thursday, May 7, 7 p.m. - 9 p.m. *The ticket price is incl.

Larke Bagger Mega Workshop 3.0

LARKE BAGGER - MEGA WORKSHOP 3.0 is back! BOOZE NEW SHOW. More crazy, funnier, more honest, naughty, and for EVERYONE who needs both a warm woolly hug or to get a little messy. Based on Lærke Bagger's new book Knitting 3 - together we must be more courageous and open, find our creativity, knit and crochet our inspiration and, above all, follow our passion for needlework. Together with each other, we must let go of the responsibility and really see who we are, through our hands and needlework. MEGA WORKSHOP is a show that is a combination of lectures, talks, and an active spontaneous workshop where you have to participate if you want to. If you don't know how to knit or crochet, but you love bold and honest fun, good and vulnerable stories and a MEGA inclusive community, we just have to say - you can sit (knit) with us! You don't have to be skilled to participate, but of course you have to. You just have to work hard, be reasonably fresh and ready for a challenge. The only rule is that you must do everything the Larke Bagger says when she says it. In addition: still bring at least 3 sets of knitting needles/crochet needles - preferably different sizes. A lot of leftover yarn, ugly, neat, old, new. Whatever. We need to create top shelf needlework from all the materials no one bothers to play with. Let's follow the impulses and desires together, let the masks run and grab each other when needed.

Learn to map and spin yarn scraps into new yarn

Here the students learn to map yarn residues and mix it with wool -and in this case local wool from a sheep farmer in Højer. Do you want to play with colors, wool and the hand. In this workshop you will learn an ancient craft and create a new and modern expression that you can use in your knitting, crochet or weaving projects. At the workshop you will be guided safely and confidently through all the processes from carding yarn and mixing it with the washed raw wool and then spinning it on the handle. Especially spinning on the hand requires practice and experience and you must therefore compare the process with any other craft — Practice makes a master. That's the way it is here, too. As a beginner, you will get the most beautiful uneven and rustic thread, perfect as it is, right for a single stripe or other detail in your knit. When you make your own yarn, it's a play with colors, materials and techniques. The process is calm, immersion and flow. The result speaks for itself. *Participants must bring: * At the workshop, you need to bring slightly different yarn residues. It can be both cut threads or yarn keys. All yarn can be used, however, not cotton and mohair. There will also be already carded yarn residues that you can use. *About the Educator: * Rikke Tonnesen is the creator of Damegarn -a soft tribute to women's craftsmanship. Damegarn is colourful hand-spun yarn consisting of yarn residues and delicious wool from Danish sheep farmers. Rikke was born and raised in Tønder and the marsh has made its mark on life and mind to that extent. She clearly remembers all the weekends when her parents took Rikke and her siblings on trips around the levees in the marshes. Nature was a big part of Rikke's childhood, but back then she didn't think much of either the plants, the birds, or the sheep and their wool. It was more about whether there was toasted chocolate in the lunch box and about getting home in time to watch the youth series on German television. Rikke's parents loved the marsh. She even thought it was a bit boring and in the wind and rain on a bike it was downright a beast. The marsh has left its mark on Rikke and today she appreciates its beauty, rawness and tranquility. The wool came to her about four years ago when she stood in the stable of a sheep farmer and watched while the sheep were being sheared. Here it really dawned on Rikke how beautiful and amazing a material wool is and that most of this beautiful (g) wool was often sent to the incineration and therefore completely wasted. Since that day at the sheep farmer, Rikke has been working on processing and spinning the wool, as well as developing wool products. Every time she has the wool in her hands, she is fascinated by its texture, colors and beauty. Rikke's greatest respect goes to all the women who through the ages have had the raw wool in their hands and patiently and persistently worked their way to a finished textile from warm socks to fine woven suits. No great-grandmother or grandmother has taught Rikke to work with wool or spin yarn, but she loves when she can pass on her knowledge and experience.

A little embroidery never hurt

A lecture on creative chaos, laughter and much-needed calm In a daily life filled with laundry, deadlines, and a guilty conscience about everything we don't reach, it can be hard to allow yourself to just... be and have fun. But what if it is precisely in the small breaks — with creative input and play — that we find peace, community and renewed energy? Based on her creative project 'A little embroidery has never hurt', Rikke Mia Skovdal shares her own experiences of finding peace in the small moments when we let go of control and when something that does not necessarily have a goal can still make sense. Through humor and honest reflections, she focuses on stress, creativity and choosing herself for. The lecture is not about getting good at embroidery -- but about feeling good about yourself and having a little laugh about it all. It is a reminder that we must prioritize breaks, the creative and the fun, just as we prioritize taking care of the body, cleaning and making money. To find balance and profit in a demanding world, we must choose ourselves for and make room for well-being. It's about daring to let go of control and create something — just because it feels good. *About the educator: * Rikke Mia Skovdal (b. 1989) is an artist, satirist and communicator with a unique ability to unite humor, reflection and life experience. She is behind the popular Instagram profile “A little embroidery never hurt”, where she challenges notions of needlework, well-being and life balance with satire and sharp recitals. She has published the book “A Little Embroidery Never Hurts — A Guide to Making Your Own Unique Embroideries” (Alpha), which combines creativity with mental calm and leaves room for play rather than achievement. In addition to her digital presence, Rikke Mia has extensive experience in teaching embroidery and creative processes through workshops aimed at both companies and individuals. Rikke Mia graduated as a television and media organizer from the Danish School of Media and Journalism and has worked in the fast-paced media industry, where she has produced podcasts for Radio24siv, P1 and R8dio, among others. In addition, she has a master's degree in digital design and communication from the IT University, which gives her a solid understanding of both media, dissemination and creative process.

Lectures on clothing, consumption and repair

In the lecture, Anna Kjær Voss takes the audience on an inspiring journey through the history of textile printing. From necessity and craft to today's creative and sustainable movement. With historical narratives and current key figures, the lecture highlights the climate and environmental consequences of our huge clothing consumption. The clothing industry produces collections at a pace that burdens both people and the environment through production, transportation and waste. But the talk also points to solutions: Wear the clothes you have. And when it breaks, fix it. Preferably with small, personal changes that give the clothes a new lease of life. The lecture provides both knowledge, perspective and inspiration to see repair and recycling as an important part of the future clothing culture.

About Masker i Marsken

Masks, Marsh & Mindfulness

Knitting brings people together across the board in both physical and virtual communities, and this is exactly the community we want to create with Masks i Marsken. Masks in the Marsh is an event that will contribute to the narrative of the marshes and the Wadden Sea area. With Masks i Marsken we embrace an ancient craft with trends in needlework and lifestyle.

The festival will offer debates, lectures and workshops for both tanned knitters and novices. In addition, music, good food, inspiration and the opportunity to share the love and enthusiasm for crafts with others. Knit also brought the six women behind Masks in the Marsh together. Together they came up with the idea for a knitting festival, which will bring both experienced and new knitters together in new communities - combined with unique experiences in the marshes.

The Story Behind Masks in the Marsh

Kirsten and Marianne are friends and run businesses together — and Pia and Ellen are friends. Separately, the two pairs of friends went to Crete with the travel concept “Time to Calm” to get a little down in gear and have the opportunity to think new thoughts. Neither of us had thought we would have to think new with anyone other than the person we were travelling with, but Crete wanted us to do it differently.

We found that even though we didn't know each other beforehand, fate wanted our paths -- via acquaintances -- to have crossed each other anyway. It gave the ball up for new conversations, and when we found out that we had knitting and creativity in common, well, then suddenly it wasn't far from idea to action.

Since then, Mette and Tatjana have joined our initiative group — it's so good.
