The Swedish Handicraft Association (Swedish: Föreningen för svensk hemslöjd) is a non-profit organization with regional offices and sales outlets throughout Sweden. Founded in 1899 by the textile artist Lilli Zickerman to market high-quality handicrafts at a store in central Stockholm, the association continues to encourage its members to collaborate in producing works of high artistic quality. Over the years, the association has developed retail shops, participated in exhibitions and promoted interest in Swedish handicrafts.[1][2][3]
