HÅNDVÆRK is a magazine or 'bookazine' from Denmark profiling craftspeople, artisans, makers and industry communicators in contemporary Scandinavian craft and design.
What makes this fascinating and beautiful magazine unique is that it offers helpful guidance for makers in a space between home industry and light production.The seventh issue of HÅNDVÆRK takes us on a visit to an architect, a design firm, a blacksmith, a brazier, a bricklayer, a carpenter and a thatcher, among others, and demonstrates how bathroom tiles can be made with a high content of crushed discarded bricks.
About HÅNDVÆRK 11 from the publisher:
HÅNDVÆRK 11 explores the world of wood, in the broadest sense. It takes you on a visit to the company managing the furniture heritage of Finn Jul and portrays a craftsman who has cast conventions aside to make new furniture out of waste materials.
In the bookazine, Rigetta Klint also speaks to a violin maker and a basketweaver and visits a cherry winery. You can learn about forest management, take part in a forest bath or a Forest Retreat and hear about the ancient method of shou sugi ban.
You can also tour a new-built residence hall for craftspersons in training and, last but not least, watch a three-metre-tall wooden sculpture take shape.
