The workshop pulled through! Four days filled with conversations around type and design, delicious meals and lots of printing. We tried out a creative writing exercise to generate content and built on that. The texts are partly poetic but mainly non-sensical. The finished product a pamphlet that opens to a poster, or as Claudio described it: the travel poster. It was a nice project to be part of and I am grateful to everyone that helped make it possible!
Claudio Madella from Nove Punti visited Ahvaland to escape the Italian heat and more importantly print a improvised and enjoyable run of posters! Inking every other print, add a colour, change a colour, keep it rolling! Quote by Jack London. Print available at Viktor
Collaboration with the wonderfully talented Jostein over at Monofon. Series of three prints (warm gold on ultra black) in an edition of 30 per design, currently available from Viktor Design and Crafts in Mariehamn.
The first Ahvaland exhibition is on!
Currently open by appointment but as of 4 July it will be open Wed–Sun, 11–15 and you will even be able to enjoy a cup of coffee.

Banners for Våga, a summer show organised by the Åland crafts association. The theme translates to something like Courage. The banners carry messages promoting small acts of courage that make life a little bit better. Transparent ink on rice paper makes the letters almost see through. Show is open until 31 August 2016 at Eckerö Post- och tullhus
Ålands craft association asked me to design and print posters by hand for their summer show. (More images to come)
