More about Guitar and Handverk

Trond is a musician himself, mastering drums, guitar, bass, and dobro. He has restored and repaired guitars and other string instruments for over 40 years and receives commissions from all over the country today. Restoration and repair of instruments is an accurate and precision-demanding craft. Restoration is time-consuming, and it usually takes 10-15 hours on an instrument; everything must align with the customer's wishes. Here, nothing is left to chance. In addition, he also builds his own guitars under the brand name TGitar. All the guitars Trond makes are "custom made." The bodies are made from scratch from Norwegian black alder, and are built and assembled in the workshop. Additionally, Trond sells parts and always has a good selection in stock, including strings.

Anne Rita has been working with flowers since 1982 and is passionate about nature and recycling. It is clear that she has a passion for the craft, as well as immense creativity and an artistic approach to what she creates. In the flower workshop, she makes bouquets, final tributes, bridal bouquets, table decorations, and large and small decorations for most occasions. At the end of November, she transforms the flower workshop into a magical Christmas store. It overflows with Christmas ornaments, Christmas decorations, decorative materials, ready-made Advent and Christmas decorations, grave blankets, and door wreaths. Here, it is possible to book private evenings with friends with food and music. Orders can be made by phone. Take a trip to the shop in the old barn, and dream away in Anne Rita's magical world.
