Most straight-forward being the wood craft that's needed for the tools of weaving, and secondly the crafts that can be made from the fabric such as folk costumes for example. Field Worker Ulrika Jäger, Sara Olsson Economic Threats Insufficient renumeration Technological Threats Use of modern materials Weakened Practice Halted transmission between generations SDG Decent Work and Economic Growth,Sustainable Cities and Communities,Responsible Consumption and Production External ID RV_CP_03 Knowledge Weaving on a heddle requires less skill than a loom, which in turn requiers quite a lot of knowledge to be able to thread and use. Far most common way to learn is in tradition from a practitioner, and at this is nowadays usually done in a course format. Vocational schools with textile focus and some textile universities are teaching handweaving. A decline in hand weaving at higher educational levels were experienced at the later half of the 1900 century in Sweden, but noticeably some schools never removed their hand looms from the classrooms and these days weaving is becoming more popular. Knowledge Transfer See above. Also a lot of transmission are done between practitioners themselves. Sweden has a quite strong culture of local weaving associations where women are meeting to weave. There has been a trend the last decade or so of these weaving spaces to be used in different ways, for example for study associations to remake them into pottery studios, as pottery is becoming increasingly popular in Sweden. For the younger generation it's Practitioners Today most of the practitioners in handweaving are women, but this is not a female activity exclusively, and it hasn't been historically either. Most of the practitioners today are older women. As looms take up much space and the craft can be quite time consuming, many weavers who weave for fun have to have a lifestyle and livingconditions where that is possible. Younger textile designers/artisans are learning from men and women in higher degree schools. Function Vävstugor, (lit. Weaving cabins") are common meeting groups for women who weave. (Found for example here: https://hemslojdsguiden.se/textil/vavstugor/) Usually this functions as a study association or volounteer association where a space is rented (or owned) and the members pay a fee to weave on the looms. There transmissions and learning are done peer-to-peer. The social aspect of the arrangements are usually very important to the members Origins and change The history of weaving in the greater picture of things is one thing, but the traditional patterns used in Sweden have different dates, but for example the rosepath pattern that Henner weaves is a technique that have been used in Scandinavia since the 18th century. Organisations Riksvävarna: https://www.riksvav.se/, Svenska Vävrådet: https://www.svenskavav.com/, Sätergläntan - institutet för slöjd och hantverk: https://www.saterglantan.se/ Places Like mentioned above, there's "vävstugor" where the craft is practiced. In Sweden there are hundreds of these spaces. Every three years, Europe's larges weaving fair (Vävmässan) is arranged in Sweden by Svenska Vävrådet (The Swedish Weaving Council) Artefacts All textiles that have been woven in the home. Also applied arts and cloth for clothes. Each of the hand weaving techniques are used for different types of fabric. State of the practice declining Social sustainability As the textile production of the world is associated with serious social issues, each textile product needed that is produced in an ethical way could be said to contribute to social sustainability. Environmental sustainability As the textile production of the world is a large culprit in i.a. monocultures and pollution to name a few, the handweaving practice is something essentially separate in its practice. Place The town or city Brunskog, Värmland, Sweden Place Description Brunskog, Arvika and the west parts of Värmland is a region where art and handicrafts have a long and strong tradition and that’s still largely present today. At the turn of the century 1900’s, many Swedish artists came to the area and an artists' colony, Rackstadkolonin, was established. The new ideas and expressions these artists brought with them along with the well-established and skilled craftsmanship that already existed here have contributed to the well-known arts and crafts area Arvika is today. The arts and crafts are greatly appreciated here by both practitioners, residents and visitors and are seen as a great asset and strong brand for the area. Arvika is a town of about 14.000, and the municipality has about 25.000 habitants. Brunskog's parish has about 2.000 inhabitants.
