Welcome to a creative workshop where we will explore the interaction between people and materials.
Using wood and water-based spray paint, we will experiment with colour, pattern and surface – discovering how expression shifts depending on whether we follow, divide or enhance the natural characteristics of the material. Together, we will create a artwork where each participant’s choices contribute to a larger whole.
Artist Fredrik Sahlström will guide us through the process and share his unique approach, where he splits wood as a way of listening to the material. Those who wish will also have the chance to try splitting wood themselves.
The workshop takes place outdoors. No previous experience is needed – just curiosity and a desire to create together!
Fredrik’s artistic project Lucky Strike is part of the exhibition Young Swedish Design 2025, opening on 18 September 2025 at IKEA Museum – don’t miss the chance to explore it during Kulturnatta.
