Roxanna Krysell one of the lectures at Nääs Fabriker had a brain storm session before we started up this day… To see what objects the pupil could come up with and may be also work further with… a good start, to open up the mind.


A tray made out of news paper/papé maché and plastic bags… I like the meetings of material, but I think it’s necessary to take responsibility for the meetings between the materials if it will work well and looks good in the end… This piece has no good meetings between the materials in this stage.


Saucepan pad…made out of Venetian blind parts.

Plastic bags, papé maché, lamp and bicycle parts, nylon stockings…


Pimp your bird house was one of the ideas behind. It could be a nice object IF the group who was working with this take it serious and do it a little bite easier. I like that they have fun when they was working with this. That’s an important view I think, to feel happy, to be glad and at the same time be open minded and curios of what’s coming up.


In the end this will end up in a plastic crystal light, Look forward to see it!
Just now it’s a small piece of a bigger idea…


This was a nice view, it’s plastic who has melt down into bowls, I like this idea very much and I see a lot of potentials into using this material and heat.
In some fabrics is melting into it too… I hope the one who has done this will work further with this idea or rather to talk about a new kind of technique.

Crochet with plastic bags… Not a new idea, but it’s a very good technique to build up new shapes and objects with. I think this could be a very useful try, to use the technique for building up, small or big stuff, just the imagination who stop you.



To hide the electric ropes at home… Really nice presentation! And a good design solution, just to work further with.


This some ideas of transform all the electric ropes you have as left over in your home, a pencil holder and one for the toothbrush. Funny ideas…


A new kind of key board, with words that you may be needs… I like this idea a lot.

The end of the workshop at Nääs Fabriker, here is some photos of what’s comes up after the last day working with and against recycling materials.

Some of this will ending up in an exhibition at Svenska Mässan in Gothenburg later this autumn. It will be an inspiration source of what they will show at Svenska Mässan.
Svenska Mässan = Swedish events Centre.

It hasn’t been easy for the pupil to understand this exercise, but I hope and think they will have use of it later on in their creative life’s and studies…

I think the one who tried to understand, to work even if things wasn’t so clear or obvious have done a really good work and come to many good conclusions… The once who drop this workshop our just was sitting and doing “nothing”, I hope they in some way get something out of it anyway, even if they was to afraid of working, that they saw what’s happened, what’s coming up…

I’m absolutely a wear of that this isn’t an easy way of working, but it’s very good for your self to force your own limits.

I’m really proud of what’s coming up in such a short time, two separate days, with two different angles at the more or less same subject.

The first workshop you can see if you scroll down at the blog.
It was about investigate time in material, see what’s happened doing this or that…

The second and last day was to get focus on an object, choose an object, write some words as parameters just for yourself; this for getting words and a direction of what you will do… then it was to work, doing 3-D sketches of the object you choose.

This way of working is also just for have a small “frame”, I think it’s better with small frames and to dig deep instead of have a huge frame and get lost in all materials, all idea’s and so on… The one who didn’t use this technique, ending up with nothing this time… so I know that it works to put up limits.
