Kreativa Kvinnor is a women’s movement that empowers foreign-born women by enabling them to share their knowledge and skills in art and crafts. The association Hand in Hand for Women is building an inclusive platform for foreign-born and newly arrived women to foster community in Sweden. Through creative making and handicrafts, we strive to provide women with opportunities to strengthen their economic independence, language development, and social integration. Our courses, workshops, and markets are meeting places where culture, art, and entrepreneurship come together to create a more gender-equal society.

Creative Women offers free courses in crafts such as embroidery, jewelry design, marbling, and cooking. The courses are open to both beginners and experienced participants, with a focus on community and learning. Materials and tools are included, and what you create is yours to take home!

Creative Women participates in various markets and festivals around Sweden, where women have the chance to showcase and sell their unique handmade products, including events such as the Älvsjö Syfestival, the Christmas market in Skärholmen, and midsummer markets.

Workshops are an opportunity to try new techniques and discover your creativity! We organize various themes such as upcycling, candle making, and quilling. Our workshops combine knowledge and fun, while also strengthening the bonds between participants.
