And in Henningv\u00e6r, it&#8217;s recorded that around 1029 inhabitants lived scattered around the islands that made up the fishing village.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-white-color has-text-color\">The production of cod-liver oil in Norway dates back to the 1850s. Back then, they would hang the cod (Skrei) to dry and some times salt it to make klipfish, The roe was salted in large German wine vats made from oak, and the cod-liver was steamed or boiled into cod-liver oil. In the beginning, the oil was only skimmed off while the liver was left to ferment in the summer heat. Can you image the smell? In fact, they used to call the smell &#8220;the smell of money&#8221;, and rightly so, as cod-liver and stock fish was Norway&#8217;s most valuable commodity. The oil was used to fuel lamps all over Europe, and used in the manufacture of soap, paint and lots more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-white-color has-text-color\">As they got better at producing oil, they also improved the yield for each drop of cod-liver oil.  They started to use large iron cauldrons to extract more oil, all year round. And in 1854, pharmacist Peter M\u00f8ller, improved the steam-boil method to extract better quality oil. With high quality oil, people who drank it got what they needed in terms of vitamin A and D, and where seemingly never ill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Most of the inhabitants in Henningsv\u00e6r lived in Fishermans Cabins, and where involved in fishing and related industries. Spread around on the islands you would have seen several warehouses and fish factories, and plenty of fishing boats.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#ffffff\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Today, well over a hundred years later, there is not a single drop of fish oil left. Instead, skilled craftswomen ensure that the traditional pier is filled with modern, Norwegian design.<\/mark><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph has-light-grey-color has-text-color\"><em><strong>*Photo Credits<\/strong><\/em><br><em>Image 3: Kristin Folsland Olsen<\/em><br><em>All other images: Aurora Stenersen<\/em><\/p>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__media-wrap\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13182-5f1d63ba87e43099b22cf88d33420580-1024x768\/aust_lag_emb_-01.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13182-5f1d63ba87e43099b22cf88d33420580-150x113\/aust_lag_emb_-01.jpg 150w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13182-5f1d63ba87e43099b22cf88d33420580-300x225\/aust_lag_emb_-01.jpg 300w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13182-5f1d63ba87e43099b22cf88d33420580-768x576\/aust_lag_emb_-01.jpg 768w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13182-5f1d63ba87e43099b22cf88d33420580-1024x768\/aust_lag_emb_-01.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13182-5f1d63ba87e43099b22cf88d33420580-1536x1152\/aust_lag_emb_-01.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13182-5f1d63ba87e43099b22cf88d33420580-2048x1536\/aust_lag_emb_-01.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13182-5f1d63ba87e43099b22cf88d33420580-1176x882\/aust_lag_emb_-01.jpg 1176w, https:\/\/v.imgi.no\/visitlofoten-13182-5f1d63ba87e43099b22cf88d33420580-1920x1440\/aust_lag_emb_-01.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2048px) 100vw, 2048px\" \/><\/div>\t<\/div>\n\t\n\n\t<div class=\"alignfull media-align-right has-media has-full-media wp-block-t2-story-chapter\">\n\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__content-wrap\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"t2-story-chapter__content-wrap__inner entry-content\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-from-1997-till-today\">From 1997 till today<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In 1997, the workshop community was established by ceramist Cecilie Haaland, photographer John Stenersen and glassartist Kari Malmberg.
