Time-honored traditions permeate all of their creations, and their products and services embody the diverse expressions and techniques of Swedish folk art…”
Dala FolkArt is a platform for three highly skilled and well-established folklore businesswomen from Southern Dalarna. Each of these remarkable women has her own unique skills and forms of expression within her own folk art medium, but each perfectly represents the extraordinary cultural heritage and traditions of Sweden. What unites decorative painter Åse Larsjos, tailor Mari Sjögren and folk musician Maria Hulthén is both the desire they each have to spread Swedish cultural traditions and they joy they each feel in passing their skills and creative energy on to others through courses, workshops and commissioned work.
