About the tutor:
Anna Husemann is a textile and knitwear designer based in Hamburg, Germany. Her work is all about color, shapes and materials and how they interact with each other. She interprets the traditional craft of knitting in a modern, abstract way, taking a step back from small, repetitive motifs and instead creating an expressive and pictorial character. In doing so, the intarsia technique is her favorite tool.

She is always on the lookout for interesting surfaces, structures, or textures that she can use as inspiration for her designs. Her biggest source of inspiration is nature, especially the seaside: In the natural world she finds endless inspiration for motifs and compositions, as well as for beautiful color combinations and special color nuances. It was during her master’s degree in textile design where she discovered the collage technique for her work.

Most of her paper collages are created on the spot, by capturing the mood of a landscape, scenery, or specific motifs in an abstract way. She then translates these illustrations into knitted textiles by filling their shapes with various materials.

Anna published her first book INTARSIA KNITS in October 2024, which contains 12 exclusive knitting patterns as well as many tips and tricks for mastering the intarsia technique. To follow her knitting work and her current projects, visit @anna_husemann on Instagram.
