Slöjd is Swedish for handicrafts, but it's so much more than making things with your hands. In Sweden, slöjd is a compulsory subject taught to all schoolchildren, but it is also a concept that extends beyond the classroom as a mentality for life. Slöjd fosters the mindset that you can use what you have at hand to make what you need or mend the things around you, building confidence and increasing resilience to encourage you to seek new solutions for any problem you might encounter in life. In this book, Kerstin Neumüller introduces the concept of slöjd through 18 easy-to-follow wood and textile projects.
