About

„I love working with textiles; in art, design and craft. In my creative process I find it important to work intuitively. The raw Icelandic nature and the reuse of textile is a constant source of inspiration. I want to illustrate the beauty and calming powers of textile. To use textile as a language to express stories; in color, texture, material, and form. One of my favorite things to do is to create and make with other people; individually and in groups.“

The process is slow and honest; a combination of traditional handwork technique and modern sustainable design. Creating and making by hand gives you time to think and process. Hanna ‘s calling card is the creative use of wool and recycled textile. The freshness and quality of each item is derived from the unique way of processing wool and recycled fabrics.
