Animals and Beasts
An exuberant crafting community transformed into a collective piece of embroidery. Created by 600 people in the spring and summer of 2020.
Creativity and joy of embroidery
The participants were brought together digitally and united in creativity and a joy of embroidery. Now their cats, pests, fantasy creatures, extinct animals, viruses and mourning birds are on display. Animals and Beasts came about as a collaboration between Västra Götaland’s Hemslöjdskonsulenter and several of Sweden’s handicraft associations. The exhibition here at Astrid Lindgrrens Näs is organised in collaboration with Kalmar Läns Hemslöjd.
