Petter Hellsing brings landscapes and materials to life through his tapestry weaves. Wool, wood, and human hands merge in his work, blurring the lines between creator and creation.

Hellsing’s art is an attempt to restore a lost connection between humans and nature, and to address the conflict between humans and an increasingly unwilling world. Through his craftsmanship, he invites us to understand the world through our hands.

Craft Days

The Craft Days Biennial aims to highlight, strengthen, and increase the visibility of the contemporary craft field in the Västra Götaland region. The event premiered in 2021 and is organised by Konsthantverkscentrum in collaboration with Konstepidemin, the Swedish School of Textiles, Form & Folk, Not Quite, and the Röhsska Museum.

Craft Days 2026 will take place on 6–10 May, with support from the City of Gothenburg, the Västra Götaland Region, the Stena Foundation, and the Wilhelm & Martina Lundgren Foundation.
