Three crafters
Exhibition period: 4 October 2024–12 January 2025
The exhibition Three crafters shows the works of three newly graduated Sami crafters from the Sami education center in Jokkmokk. Traditional and innovative duodji from South Sami and Lule Sami area traditions are presented here.
Teresa Forsgren, Jänsmässholmen, Southern Sami area tradition
In her crafts, Teresa Forsgren shows a sense of precision and detail, with a focus on creation in materials such as pearls and pewter. Teresa explores colors and shapes in both traditional and unexpected materials, always with great precision.
Izabel Nordlund, Lule Sami area tradition, Nautijaur/Bidtja
Izabel Nordlund is a weaver who has developed a taste for gámasgoarrom/belling sewing. Her craftsmanship testifies to a methodical process with well-balanced decisions from idea to finished object. Although Izabel always adheres to her family traditions, she is not afraid to try new materials and techniques.
Marlene Johansson, Rönnbäcken, Southern Sami area tradition
In her crafting, Marlene Johansson looks at the big picture before letting herself be engulfed by details. The finished works bear witness to the work process - where every stitch is made with thought. Marlene creates freely within the traditional framework and feels at home in pearl necklaces.
The exhibition is produced by Slöjd och formcenter together with the practitioners.
