Lino Cut Art Experience at Nusfjord Village & Resort

Set against the dramatic fjords and rugged coastline of Nordland, Norway, Nusfjord Village & Resort offers a distinctive retreat for those seeking more than just the usual outdoor adventure. At this historic fishing village, renowned for its vibrant maritime past and preserved wooden rorbuer cabins, visitors can immerse themselves in a hands-on artistic journey through the traditional craft of lino cut printing.

This workshop unfolds in the village’s original fish packaging house, a space filled with the scents of salty sea air and aged pine, where the legacy of Nusfjord’s fishing heritage is palpable. With an expert instructor guiding, guests try their hand at lino cutting—a method once employed to mark and decorate wooden fish crates bound for international markets. The process involves designing a maritime-inspired pattern, carefully carving the design on a linoleum block, and pressing it into paper, producing a unique print that captures the spirit of Nusfjord’s identity.

As you carve, sip on local wine and connect with the quiet craftsmanship that shaped the village’s economy for centuries. This is an intimate experience that combines creativity with cultural insight, making it an exceptional complement to the thrilling outdoor pursuits available in the region—from fjord kayaking to hiking scenic ridgelines.

Nusfjord itself stands out as one of Norway’s oldest and best-preserved fishing communities, offering visitors a rare chance to connect with a living museum of Arctic coastal culture. This lino cut workshop is a hands-on way to take home a piece of that heritage—something personal and original, created through your own efforts.

Whether you’re an art lover or simply looking to engage with local traditions away from the usual tourist trail, Nusfjord Village & Resort’s lino cut experience is a memorable dive into the intersection of artistry and maritime history.
