Since its establishment in 1971 by Mikiko Yamanashi as the predecessor, the Swedish Textile Research Institute, our Swedish weaving courses have consistently pursued the theme of ”enriching daily life.” From April 2023, we have relocated our classes to the Archive Studio in Denenchofu and newly established courses that anyone can join, so that you can experience the warmth of handmade items in your own home.
