The forest – our church, our god, our mother. My aim has been to explore our relationship to the forest by using it as the basis for my practice. With the starting point of a longing from my childhood to be a troll, I have tried to approach the wilderness around us and within us.… Continue reading Lisa Englund

WEAVING PAST INTO PRESENT revolves around contradictory feelings towards, on the one hand, the lure of a mythic past, and on the other hand its absurdity and potential danger. This is done by stating that craft and weaving is inherently conservative, closely connected to nostalgia and claimed as something more authentic and pristine. In continuation… Continue reading Gustaf Helsing

I am interested in the deceptive simplicity of the circle. A circle seems like a simple and strict geometric form but it becomes so complicated in weaving. Since the weave consists of the warp and weft that create a pixel system, there are always going to be jagged edges in the round shape. Regardless of… Continue reading Anneli Tegelberg

Rosita Ståhl strives for poetic expression in her sculptures and installations. She employs a narrative based on her own experiences, memories, feelings and places. For her, the craft and creators are important and the fact that there is work behind the surface. With the properties of glass, she wants to tell different stories where light,… Continue reading Rosita Ståhl

My degree project revolves around hierarchical systems in art and craft. I conduct a dialogue where I explore and challenge the viewer’s perception of power structures within historical, institutional and political attitudes towards craft. I have produced an interior consisting of a crystal chandelier, carpet and painting, which together create an installation where the functions… Continue reading Johan Ibrahim Adam

It can take the shape of a festoon referencing classicism or a chandelier inspired by the baroque style. My work often carries a symbolic language and I have an interest in its… Continue reading Ida Netterberg

My project, Intertwined, is an exploration of the braid’s expression and its power. I apply different craft traditions and techniques on the material clay and observe and explore what happens in this translation. My braids often represent strength through linking, but also vulnerability through the material. I also explore the braid as a universal language,… Continue reading Cornelia Dahlin

My degree project is titled Next of Skin and explores kinship between humans and other beings on Earth. We share so many similarities, all of us little carbon-based life forms on a blue pearl in the vastness of space. But humans tend to focus on the differences, in order to justify how we treat the… Continue reading Nina Johansson

The installation Mystery of Matter and Magic of Presence is born from the shimmer of mother-of-pearl. It’s a deep shimmer that, like twilight, exists in between light and dark. The installation has been staged through an orchestration of flows and materials where the works express the material’s state as well as the ephemeral qualities around it; they describe how the metal melts… Continue reading Miriam Johannesson

In my degree project, I explore how memories, collections, and fragments can be embodied in jewellery and small objects in metal. My cast objects are made in such thin moulds that are not completely filled, and have become like a shadow of what they could have been. My etchings on metal plates of photographs from… Continue reading Hanna Havdell
