About Greta-Annabel Aarset
I made the first ones for sale, already 20 years ago. I draw each teddy bear and name them. I then design the pattern, and make them by hand, with a lot of patience and love. I knit and sew everything from scarves, sweaters, vests and the like. by hand. All my bears are labeled: Aarset Bear and my name.
I got my education from; Agder School of Art and Design, and as a private in sewing, shaping, textile and design and pattern design.
It is wonderful to live in a daily interaction with wonderful textiles, painting mediums, creative tools, clay, and lively teddy bears, who can think of directing the day, in their favor, whatever I may think. Some of their friends are constantly showing up, who want their say. Then I have the process going on, and different personalities are created, among other things.
In the Art & Design Studio Aarsets gallery, you will find examples of other objects I make.

ART- & DESIGNSTUDIO AARSET
I also have my Art-& and Design Studio here in the house, where I live. With my education from Agder School of Art and Design,
as a private student in sewing,art subjects, textiles and design, and pattern construction, as well as courses and school with weaaving and sewing, in Norway called: Folkehøyskole.
I live in a daily interaction with drawing and painting medium, canvas and watercolor paper. Textiles by the meter,
charcoal pins and brushes, other tools such as hammers and pliers, rulers and sewing needles. Clay and merino wool. The camera also has its natural place in this creative enviroment.
When I have a blank canvas in front of me, I go into a bubble of colors, and seek to convey my inner image on to the canvas.
I often draw sketches first, and paint a small study of the painting, before I start with the work itself. Other times I convey directly on the canvas.
I also illustrates books.
On this page you can see some of the works.
