Across Sweden, approximately 50 crafts consultants and regional developers are playing a vital role in fostering the growth of traditional crafts. Through collaboration, projects, and knowledge sharing, they are strengthening the presence of crafts both regionally and nationally.
A network of around 50 crafts consultants and regional developers is working throughout Sweden to promote crafts as both a cultural practice and an economic sector. These professionals engage with both hobbyist craftspeople and those who practice crafts professionally, and collaborate with schools, associations, museums, businesses, and local municipalities.
While the specific responsibilities of these consultants may vary by region, they generally initiate projects, disseminate knowledge about materials and techniques, and work to increase access to crafts for children and young people. This work is an important component of the regional cultural infrastructure through a collaborative model.
