Private or group workshops in my studio in Skarpnäck, Stockholm. Swedish or English.
I can offer different setups such as:

-Two day course where you get to learn the textile sculpture technique I’m using. You will sew a face and a hand from a step-by-step instruction. In the studio we will be surrounded by my sculptures and puppets and I share inspiration and practical experience. This course suits a group of 4-8 people.
Price: 3 000 sek pp-2 200 sek pp including materials, lunch and fika.

– One day course, same as previous but we just work with a face.
Price: 1 800 sek pp-1 500 sek pp. (4-8 participants).

– Short course intro where we look through face and hand. I explain the technique and you get to try sewing a nose and mouth.
Price: private 2 hours / two participants 3 hours 2 000 sek pp.

– I come to your workplace and hold a workshop for a larger group of people. Hand sewing is a great activity for conversations to emerge and take new directions. Preferably we reuse worn-out textiles.
Duration and price can be discussed.
