At Vegagatan, about 200m from Four, you will find the nearest disabled parking lot. Since Four is also a workshop we are not always capable to avoid strong odours. Four is located in a steep hill. Please contact us if you need assistance or if you have any questions about for example allergies, and we will do our best to help! Contact: Karin Roy Andersson +46730864249

Det är konsthantverkets tur! Maj Sandell, Susanne Helgeson och Anders Ljungberg från Konsthantverkscentrum skriver om vikten av nationella och internationella satsningar på konsthantverk.

Det svenska konsthantverket är exportmoget – och skulle sopa banan på den internationella kulturkartan. Nu måste kulturrådet och regeringen agera. Det skriver Maj Sandell, Susanne Helgeson och Anders Ljungberg.

Ribbons have been used to decorate and adorn for a very long time. Today ribbons and bows are considered frivolous although they have been culturally significant for thousands of years. Ribbons appeared when civilizations began crafting fabrics. Ancient civilizations for example Greeks, Egyptians, Sumerians and Aztecs wore ribbons for practical, aesthetical, and symbolic
reasons. They tied clothing or held hair in place, but could also indicate social status and wealth.
