Ida Isak Westerberg

Proudly presenting, Ida Isak Westerberg, from Korsträsk, Älvsbyn.

Ida Isak has a degree in hand weaving and art sewing from Handarbetets vänner.

During the time at Ricklundgården, Ida Isak has been looking for different sides in herself;

“- Sides I haven’t found before, in history, in the ground, in the views and the body. I’ve tried techniques I haven’t used, sun-dyed with plants from specific places and woven with things I found. I have explored new expressions, what rests and what can emerge when I give it time and space.”

When asked how her experience was here at Ricklundgården, the answer was;

“- It has been an important time. I have learned a lot about myself and those who came before me. Challenged in new color themes and given time to discover and feel. The environment and the people in the area were very welcoming and I felt at home straight away. I am very grateful for the opportunity to have spent July in Saxnäs – the world’s luxury!”

We are very happy and grateful for the time that Ida Isak has been here and we have enjoyed her presence and company!! 💚

On Wednesday at 09 – 09:45 there will be an artist presentation by Roxanne Everett and Trapper Robbins, our current resident artists in Folkes Studio.
Both come from the USA so the presentation will be in English.
From 08:30 – 10:00 the same day there will also be waffles as usual.

Warm welcome!

It has been practiced and refined.

On May 22, we will have a choir concert with live music at Saxnäs Church!

The picture shows part of the group participating. Even more dedicated people than those in the photo will take part in the concert itself.

This is one of the many activities we have worked on—and continue to work on—within the Inheritance Fund project KRAM.

Save the date: Friday, May 22 at 6:00 PM, because there will be music!
