From Japan to Närke, from handicrafts to fashion, and why design skills should be shared with more people.
Lecture with Karin Sterner. Karin is the fashion designer who became a craftsperson. She abandoned fast fashion and began to seriously see the possibilities in what we already have: the materials that have already been manufactured, the traditional techniques that have existed for generations, and the creative knowledge that we as humans possess.
Welcome to draw inspiration from different places and times, old techniques and new knowledge, and how we can combine the best of both worlds. About innovation on a small scale, impact on a large scale, and why design knowledge needs to be spread to more people for a sustainable future.
Karin has been living in Mullhyttan for three years, after spending 20 years in Stockholm. Focusing on one area has not been her thing, which is why she has experience from both design jobs at H&M and Stockholm City Mission, the world of handicrafts, teaching, and her own business in crafts and design. She is passionate about sustainability and finding solutions. She runs her business Letstig in Mullhyttan, but also shares her knowledge in courses around the country!
It is time for the annual meeting and we invite you to a tour of The Glass Factory in connection with the annual meeting, Sunday, April 6.

Can integration work?
Birgitta Notlöf talks about her book Livstycket - Hela livet i en väska. It is the story of the 27 years she worked with Livstycket in Tensta.
Thousands of women from all over the world have participated in the association's activities, designing patterns and creating textile art, while studying Swedish and social studies.
"I have seen that it is possible to feel community and belonging. That it is possible to feel welcomed and included in Swedish society. I hope the book can be an inspiration to others who want to make society better for everyone," says Birgitta Notlöf.
The bodice is a garment used in the past by women in Sweden, to provide warmth and support. This is how we wanted our association to be. A warm, safe and supportive place for women, who may not have had access to any other such place outside their own home, and sometimes not even there. We also wanted to be a bit cheeky, colorful and curvy and challenge society's view of immigrant women as a group, Birgitta writes.
Birgitta has brought her new book "Livstycket.Hela livet i en väska" for sale to interested parties.
