During the winter holidays, we set up two two-day courses where we make our own accessories under the guidance of artists. An accessory can be something cool that we can attach to our clothes or modify our things with so that they appear more personal, original and unique. In this way, everyone can create their own style that becomes sustainable art rather than mass-produced trends. We will experiment with non-traditional methods and tools and explore a buffet of exciting materials that we can disassemble and reassemble in new ways. We can cut, cut, drill, screw, staple, glue, rivet, crochet, sew and embroider where it suits best and attach to things like a skateboard, pencil case, cap, T-shirt or bag as well as hang it around throat or in the ear.

The course is led by visual artists Evelin Sillén and Hamid Waheed, who have participated in the development of the course in collaboration with visual artist and Kunstnernes Hus' educational coordinator Annika Simonsson.
