HANDKRAFT

The book Handkraft is a tribute to all the craftsmen who keep ancient traditions and crafts alive.

Historically speaking, crafts are the basis for the growth of cities, which is still evident in old street names such as Kammakargatan, Hantverkargatan and Yxsmedsgränd.

Handkraft is published by Stockholm's handicraft association, and is part of their 175th anniversary celebration. It is written by cultural journalist Bo Madestrand, with photographs by Klara G and graphic design by Pompe Hedengren.
