   Author : Nicolas Cheng; Göteborgs universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Craft; Jewellery; Situated Making; Noticing; Care; Empathy; Postindustrial; World Wide Workshop;

   Abstract : This research project examines a repeated focus on time and slowness that I have experienced over years in connection with my hand-weaving practice using the Scandinavian technique of rya.
