Handens hus is located in the Nordanå area and is a forum for handicrafts in Skellefteå.
About Handens hus
The guiding principle of Handens hus is quality. Constant development of materials, techniques and forms is a prerequisite for the survival of newly produced crafts and handicrafts. Here, meetings take place between practitioners, between past and present, and between old and young.
Children's activities, craft meetings and activity days are organized at Handens hus. A municipal handicraft consultant employed half-time runs the activities.
