Textile sculpture – Sewing a hand

In this workshop, you will explore the textile sculpture technique I have been developing since 2011. We work as sustainably as possible, using recycled and repurposed materials whenever we can.
Through step-by-step guidance, participants are invited to explore the bodily and sculptural qualities of jersey (knitted) textiles, using soft materials to create expressive three-dimensional forms.

Since 2018, the workshop has been presented in a variety of contexts, and since 2019 it has been taught annually as part of the embroidery courses and programs at Handarbetets Vänners Skola in Stockholm. Other schools and institutions include Nyckelviksskolan in Stockholm, Stenebyskolan in Dals Långed, Sätergläntan – Institutet för slöjd och hantverk in Insjön, and Leksands Folkhögskola, among others.

I also host workshops in my own studio, where participants sew surrounded by both finished and ongoing sculpture projects. The groups are usually a wonderful mix of hobby enthusiasts, art students, and professionals working in art, craft, and theatre — everyone is welcome.

If you are interested in this one-day workshop, please get in touch. It is often combined with the “Sewing a Hand” workshop, extending the experience over two days. I can also offer longer courses that include constructing and sewing the body and body parts.

The workshops can be held in Swedish or English.
