Information about the artist / the group

I am a textile maker and designer who hand tufts and weaves under the company name HW TEXTIL.

Sustainability and eco-friendly materials are important, especially in weaving. I use either recycled yarn or natural materials that are locally produced in a sustainable way. Originality is important in the woven products which are mostly scarves, shawls and various ribbons but also fabrics for clothes.

I hand tuft rugs, larger wall textiles, stools and benches. Often to order and preferably in a variety of patterns and colours. Hand tufted textiles have a thick pile of wool, which makes them excellent sound absorbers perfect for decorating public spaces. I have made hand-tufted wall textiles for Övernäs school and the library in Strandnäs school.

Program during Konstrundan

I will have a floor loom with me where I show my weaving. I also show my tufting gun and how the tufting is done in a slightly smaller, portable frame.
There are products for sale, both woven and various tufted products, such as scarves, ribbons, stools and larger wall textiles and some good deals on the products.
