Skap Kreativ Folkehøyskole

Skap Kreativ Folkehøyskole is a folk high school in Mandal, Norway. It runs a one-year creative programme organised in lines such as product design, architecture, interior design, visual communication, technology, engineering and marketing. Students work on practical projects in workshops and a makerspace with equipment including 3D printers, laser cutters, CNC milling and photo and podcast studios.

The school is aimed at people who want to explore creativity, with no prior skills required, and at students preparing for entrance exams to design, architecture and engineering studies. It has 100 student places and opens admissions on 15 November each year, with no fixed deadline while places remain. Students can apply to Lånekassen for grants and loans.

The school was founded in 2015 and is based in Mandal, where classrooms, workshops and boarding facilities are in one building. Study trips go to Japan and Italy, and a joint trip to Århus, Denmark is part of the 2026/2027 plan, which starts on 22 August 2026.
