Hantverksnätverk

Hantverksnätverk are collaborative groups or organizations that bring together individuals involved in traditional crafts and artisanal production. These networks aim to foster the exchange of knowledge, skills, and best practices among artisans. They often serve as platforms for members to share resources, learn new techniques, and collectively promote their work. The emphasis is typically on preserving traditional methods, supporting local economies, and encouraging sustainable craft practices.

These networks can take various forms, from informal gatherings of local craftspeople to more structured associations with formal membership and activities. They may organize workshops, exhibitions, markets, and training programs. By pooling resources and expertise, hantverksnätverk can help individual artisans overcome challenges related to marketing, production, and business development. They also play a role in safeguarding cultural heritage by ensuring the continuity of traditional crafts and passing down skills to future generations. Membership often includes artisans working in diverse fields such as pottery, textiles, woodworking, metalworking, and jewelry making. The overarching goal is to strengthen the craft sector and increase its visibility and economic viability.
