Anna Petersson Berg, instructor of Slojd classes in Sweden during
the early years of the 20th century, left her native country to
bring the crafts of Swedish Holeseam and Fringing, finishing
techniques for woven textiles, as well as traditional Swedish
knitting styles, to the public schools of America. Slojd, as
defined by Otto Salomon, the founder of the Slojd theory of
education, came to mean the formalized system of teaching crafts as
part of an educational process. The derivation of slojd is slog, an
early Scandinavian word for craft. As in most rural households,
those of Sweden continued a craft tradition that included spinning,
weaving and the making of a wide variety of small wooden items for
personal use. The Toolemera Press reprints classic books on early
crafts, trades and industries from our personal library.
