The initial part of the project started spring 2022, via a series of meetings on Öland between the project’s actors. The starting point for the initial meetings was a dialogue about textiles and the importance of craftsmanship in practicing craft. Conversations about the culture and history of textiles, about having materials in your hands, and what craftsmanship does for our mental health and well-being. The meetings quickly showed that a community emerged across actors, generations, and cultures. It became clear in the process that creating something together had a positive value beyond the product itself.
