My practice ranges from weaving to print, video and installation. I take inspiration from my own experience of being connected to two cultures – Sweden and Tunisia. My work often takes its starting point in the material itself, a physical material as symbol or bearer of histories, ideas and conceptions. Through these, I investigate how… Continue reading Jemina Asp Zayed

I have examined The Ugliest Colour in the World, Pantone 448 C. I think it’s rather pretty, but that isn’t important. It’s also not important what you think of it. It has been voted, by very many people, a really ugly colour. That’s why we are deciding right now, that it is ugly. I have… Continue reading Ellen Jakobsson

For the past year, I have been suffering from The House of Nobility (Riddarhuset) fever. It all started when I stumbled upon this irresistible image of two lions with lipstick-red claws holding a shield, Sweden’s National Coat of Arms. The lions are dressed to their toes and must have had enough of holding coats of… Continue reading Elin Hökby

My degree project is about finding the relationship between me (my body) and the craft in my life as a student and a creative person. I use the term “underwater basket weaving” to find a connection between my work and society’s view on craft, a term used to ridicule “unnecessary” academic achievements. I work underwater… Continue reading Ebba Hernström

They crawl so slowly while their metallic shells shimmer in the sunlight. How can they shimmer so much? Why do they shimmer? My weave seeks order and harmony, chaos and disorder. Beetles are floating in the infinite universe, seeking transformation. Welcome to transform!

-See us. We are also here—a part of this world. The forest silently roars. It wants to be heard, and it wants us to listen. Come closer, and I will tell you the story of the forest. We are losing. I will tell you about the animals and the plants that will soon be legends… Continue reading Allis Matei

Using my teenage diaries as a starting point, I have created a character called “the inner teenager.” My degree project is a tribute to my teenage self and acknowledges that she still exists within me and occasionally makes herself visible. The teenager is both strong and fragile, confident and immensely insecure. She feels misunderstood, and… Continue reading Vera Lasthein

My degree project is born out of both frustration and fascination with the unspoken and the hidden in the human inner world. I’m constantly contemplating what lies beneath the surface, within myself and others. In the realm of imagination and dreams, we can access the hidden corners of our subconscious. When we sleep, we can… Continue reading Vanessa Abbott

In my artistic practice, I explore contrasts: hard and soft, straight and crooked, the organic yet sterile. I transfer old sketches and illustrations to ceramics, deconstructing my world of patterns and bringing them to life in clay – like a canvas for me to decorate. Inspired by the sea and nature, forms become patterns and,… Continue reading Tova Schaeffer

The origin of all materials. The creation of life from clay begins with a stone. In this artificial cave, there is a desire to create life from illusion and collective memory. I try to preserve memories from my parent’s past- memories that shaped me, memories that bled out into my subconscious and left traces of… Continue reading Nadja Akbar
