GEJST
About a special issue of HÅNDVÆRK commissioned by Copenhagen Hospitality College. In cooperation with the Tuborg Foundation, the college runs an ambitious project titled Gejst – a Danish word that might best be translated as ‘passion’ or ‘spirit’. The project revolves around learning from the best and most dedicated masters.
The special issue is for the college’s own use and is not for sale to the general public, but in bookazine 14, you can meet a couple of the masters – true nerds in the best sense of the word.
Here you can read the introduction to the special edition – an interview with Johan K. Dal, project head for Gejst.
News and thoughts on a November day
Marie Holst views the digital loom as a democratization of narrative textile tradition of tapestry making. In the past, tapestries took years to weave by hand and were the reserve of the wealthy. ‘It’s interesting,’ she says, ‘that you can now use this medium to tell different types of stories than the ones that have historically been expressed in woven tapestries.’
