Working together

Everybody has a meaningful task in one of Camphill Rotvolls workshops or on the land. Everybody’s contribution, small or large, adds to the whole and makes it possible for each one to develop his skills and possibilities in his own way.

In our workshops we also give work and day-activities to people from the area around Trondheim who need a sheltered workplace.

A weekly meeting after lunch on Fridays, the Rotvollting, gathers all those who work at Camphill Rotvoll to discuss matters of common concern related to our work- and cultural-life.

The Rotvoll farm and garden

Camphill Rotvoll runs a small farm, and a market garden with a greenhouse anda herb garden, all based on bio-dynamic principles. We have sheep, chickens and a horse. We grow herbs, vegetables, flowers and berries.

Different tasks belong to different seasons of the year, such as wood-cutting, herb- manufacturing, willow work, and other things.

The Weavery

A carrying idea of the weavery's activities is to learn to see and experience the various relationships in the craft and in the materials. We work with wool from our own sheep; washing, carding, spinning and then dyeing our own yarn. We weave blankets, table-runners and -cloths as well as rugs. Small bags, filled with lavender from our herb-garden, are woven in various shades of mauve and lavender.

As textile-workers we use our whole body, as well as our heart and head, to see how concept, planning and excecution can lead to a beautiful, artistic and useful product. A product that we all have part in, in various ways.

Every one in the shop has a task to do, which is tailored to each ones possibilities. Through this, both craft's- and social competence is achieved.

The Building group

Kristoffertunet has its own master builder and his two apprentices. Their main task lies in the rehablitation and maintaintenance of the existing buildings at Kristoffertunet and Rotvoll Gård. There is also an impulse to help with ecological building in a Camphill village in Russia, which takes some of their time.
