Hailing from the acclaimed Swedish craft school, Sätergläntan, a college of handicrafts located in the Dalarna region of Sweden, Per Helldorff is this year’s international folk artisan attending Unplugged – the Northern Harvest. This special workshop, designed for the experienced woodcarver and traditional craft educator, provides the student with a hands-on look at the creative and practical engineering ideas behind his handmade wooden cabinets, with their movable parts and whimsical themes. Using simple carving tools, each student will carve a simple mechanical object, incorporating handcrafted handles, wheels and wooden gears and mechanically engineered wooden parts into a traditional Swedish folk art object.
