A course by Anna Husemann
Anna Husemann is a textile designer from Hamburg, Germany, who discovered her passion for collage and bold, colorful patterns while studying for a master's degree in Textile Design at HAW Hamburg. Over time, she developed her personal style through a blend of abstract, organic shapes and sustainable materials.
After finishing her studies, Anna set up the studio of her newly created brand Plysh in her own home. Her pieces have been featured internationally, for example in the Pom Pom Quarterly magazine and in an exhibition by art collective 8B in Denmark. She also shares all her knowledge in knitting manuals, as well as in courses on knitting, crochet, and textile dyeing that she teaches regularly.
