Mat - Hardanger | C2 Centre for Craft

Hardanger is one of the best known Norwegian crafts. This tray cloth is a very traditional sample, using kloster blocks, woven bars, twisted-cross fillings, eyelet and fagotting to achieve a lace-like look. Jennie Webb was a very dedicated member of the Crafts Guild of Manitoba, serving as Vice-President and on several committees. She also managed the Permanent Collection for nine years.

The C2 Centre for Craft is located in what we now know as Manitoba, the ancestral lands of the Anishinaabeg, Ininiwak, Dene, Anishininewuk, Dakota Oyate, Inuit Peoples, and the national homeland of the Red River Métis. These lands include territory subject to Treaties 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10.

Craft occupies a space that has the hand and the handmade at its centre. It rejoices in sharing knowledge and solving problems. It stems from, creates, and nurtures community. It allows us to build bridges through shared action, but also fosters courage, empathy, and connection.

We acknowledge the deep harm caused by settlement, and we look forward to using craft in our efforts towards reconciliation and positive change.
