Brinna för vävning (Brinna= burning (enthusiastic for something) for weaving on Matchmuseum in Jönköping, Sweden
The heat strikes me when I step into the exhibition space. What a creativity!
Hand Weavers in Jönköping is a group for everyone who wants to weave.
The exhibition runs through March 1 and for us it was well worth 260 km solely for this.
The area has great restaurants if you want something in your stomach.
You’ve come to the right place!

Thought-provoking facts! What do we do to get education, study and therapy departments to understand the value of weaving, at all levels!
A little story:
When we were visiting a woman comes in and wants to learn to weave. Come join the association, we have a weaving workshop !. How was it resolved. Lovely!
