The National Swedish Handicraft Council initiates, plans and coordinates efforts to promote handicraft activities. The overall objective is to promote handicraft all over Sweden by increasing people´s interest and knowledge in the area of handicraft.
The Council allocates state grants to work that furthers and develops handicraft. The focus is on information, further education, co-ordination of the work performed by handicraft consultants, follow-up and evaluation as well as investigatory work and initiation of development projects.
The office is located at the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth (Tillväxtverket) in Stockholm. The Government appoints the council itself for a period of three years and currently comprises nine members.
