Welcome to an exhibition about impoverished textile artisans and their world of patterns. In the exhibition *Roses in November*, you’ll meet five such artisans from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Their stories tell of modest living conditions and hardship, as well as skilled craftsmanship and great creativity. Tradition meets the present in newly created wool textiles inspired by the patterns and colours of these historical artisans. Welcome in!
In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, many people in our country lived in great poverty. One way to earn a living was to craft useful objects that could be sold for a small income or exchanged for something else they needed. In this exhibition, you’ll get to know five textile artisans, their work and their rich, often colourful world of patterns. Gran-Anna crocheted; Lunn-Anders and Blinda-Anna knitted; Maria i Stenbacken sewed patchwork quilts; and last but not least, Vävar-Lars was known for his linen damask. You’ll also see newly created wool textiles by Lena Josefsson, inspired by the patterns and colours of these impoverished artisans.
Times and facts:
- Opening: Saturday 28 November at 14:00.
- The exhibition runs from 28 November to 14 February.
- *Roses in November* was produced collaboratively by Falbygdens museum and textile artist Lena Josefsson.
