Tuva Lundborg – Approaching Sandcastles 

In the workshop Approaching Sandcastles, we move the beach to Konsthallstorget. Come and make your own castle, or help build a shared cityscape in sand. Building in sand is allowing yourself to dream. What would your home, your neighborhood, your city look like if it were as easy to shape as wet sand? Tuva Lundborg, who leads the workshop, studies landscape architecture and is interested in exploring new ways to experience the city and the landscape. Through collage, photography, and film, she builds memory landscapes which she then translates into models.

Design a lamp or lantern from rice paper with Isak Folkesson, Astrid Tømeraas och Clara Niemiec

Make your own lampshade or lantern out of rice paper. The process allows for a lot of creativity and problem-solving, giving you as a participant the opportunity to explore design with different materials.

You start by building a frame out of sticks or wire, which you cover with rice paper and glue; the lamp will get a unique expression no matter how you do it. You can create a sleek design or decorate your object a little extra, using paint, newspaper, dried flowers, or other materials you find on site.

Since we are outdoors in daylight, it may be difficult to see the finished result, but there will be solutions so that you can (temporarily) see your creation in action. The workshop will expand your understanding of design and construction, and give you your own lamp to take home and show off when you have guests!
