Create beautiful things with nature's resources and traditional techniques: weaving, tanning, basketry, plant dyeing, woodwork and sewing. A whole year of craft, creativity and the joy of creation.
We believe that the old ways of crafting and creating will play a big role in the future. We believe that Slow Craft will become more and more important as things only get faster and faster.
Taking your time to create things from scratch, with local, sustainable, natural materials is good for the soul. It gives you time to breathe and is grounding, maybe just what we modern people need?
