Café webinar, February 3rd 2026, at 6 pm (CET)
Theme: Basket making in Sweden and Norway

For this webinar we are happy to have Helena Åberg and Hege Iren Aasdal joining us to speak about basket making and traditions in Sweden and Norway. We will see both differences and similarities,  as well as an insight on what the future holds a head for basketry and basket makers.

? Helena Åberg lives in Stigtomta in southeastern Sweden. She used to work as a handicrafts consultant and has always had a great interest in traditional basket making. Between 2020 and 2023 she was one of the leaders on the project "Raising basket knowledge"(Korgen lyfter) that aimed to strengthen and lift the knowledge about traditional basketry. 

Helena is also a co-author of the publications "Korgar från ett avlångt land" and "Om Skogens material – träden och slöjden" and since 2023 the chairman of the Swedish National Association of baskets and basketry (Riksföreningen för korg och korgslöjd). 

Since 2021, Helena is running the company Slöjd i trä, that offers workshops and courses in traditional wood techniques and basket making.

? Hege Iren Aasdal is a Norwegian basketmaker with a great interest in basket traditions and local materials. She is specializing in harvesting materials from local sources and interested in bringing the knowledge about the materials and the techniques forward to new generations. 

She has been a research fellow at the Norwegian Craft Institute and have researched the traditional basketry of Norway. She now receives government grant for artist in folk art by Art Council Norway.

Hege have found a great abundance and diversity in the baskets made around the country. There are many different weaving techniques used in different parts of Norway, and a great creativity within those techniques. These traditions are almost extinct, very few people know the weaving techniques and the preparing of the materials today. The diversity of the materials used and the creativity of the weaving techniques are amazing!
