During our stay we visited in many interesting places. Because of our textile background we were very happy to see places like the local flag factory called Fánasmidjan and Ívaf´s work studio.
Fánasmidjan factory produces for example flags and banners for companies with screen printing technique and digital printing. We got to see the manufacturing process and it was really intresting for us to see that they make it just as we make silk screen printing on a smaller scale.

Fánasmidjan is very keen on recycling their leftover material and they are co-working with local artisan and finding a solution to fully use all the materials.

After the flag factory we went to this beautiful little shop called Skóbúdin. They sell local design and handcrafted products.

The last place we went was Siggas work studio that was located just upstairs of Skóbúdin. She has been into knitting for many years, but just a few years ago she got her first knitting machine and got totally hooked on it. She now has like four different knitting machines and does all her work with them. She has a unique way of using colours and patterns and her work is well designed. We got extremely inspired by her work :)
