A year ago my lovely Swedish neighbour introduced me to the fantastic textile course at Glimåkra Folkhögskola here in southern Sweden. What a privilege and an education it has been. Learning to weave, printing, dyeing, felting and stitching each week with a wonderfully generous, highly experienced and very talented group of ladies.
