Join in the knitting of the Amsterdam Winter Stable at OBA Javaplein.

Colourful Wool

We all know the traditional nativity scene, but have you heard of the Amsterdam Winter Stable? You'll create a winter stable with Amsterdam residents who love knitting based on local figures and urban stories. This artwork will be filled with large, colourful woollen sculptures. The life-sized piece is knitted by Amsterdammers and designed by them, ensuring everyone feels at home in the final creation.

On 2 and 9 September, Studio Brei will guide the knitting of the winter stable at OBA Javaplein and OBA Molenwijk. Over ten sessions (five per location), the Amsterdam Winter Stable will come to life. And we're still looking for knitters!
