Workshop

There is a design/textile group in Sweden called 10-Gruppen and this year they are celebrating their

40th birthday. To mark the anniversary they have a large exhibition at Dunkers Kulturhus in Helsingborg.

Tonight one of the founders and designers, Tom Hedqvist, held a workshop there and I was one of the participants. Tom Hedqvist is a graphic designer and it was really interesting to listen to his stories about the company as well as the industry and the changes it has undergone since the 70s. He talked us through the exhibition and then we all sat down around a massive table full of paper, glue and scissors. The workshop was very 'Darren style', we cut black paper into pieces to create simple patterns. When time was up he hung everyhting on the wall which created quite an astonishing effect. It made me miss the crafty days at school. (Det fick mig även att sakna våra pysselsessions Helena!) /M
