The Vessel
The ninth issue of The Vessel, titled Make Me See, celebrates the art of noticing and describing craft in action. What do we see when watching people make?
The issue is edited by Åsa Dybwad Norman and Ben Lignel, in collaboration with student editors Sofie Alm Nordsveen, Carla Rotenberg, and Iliana Papadimitriou.
The issue features two essays by Evelina Hedin and Sara Clugage, in addition to short-form texts from twelve Nordic art school students: Anna-Maria Saar, Daniel Schiechl, Hana Rehorčíková, Iliana Papadimitriou, Jenny Hamrell, Maike Panz, Martine Aadne Gulliksen, Samira Khoshbakht, Sara Marie Hødnebø, Sofie Alm Nordsveen, Sorrell Van Allen and Zoë Robertson.
Artist Fanny Schwarz has created a set of custom illustrations for the issue.
About The Vessel
The Vessel is an online magazine about crafts and material culture. The Vessel looks at the world through a craft lens – showcasing making practices, visual expression, and material knowledge from a multitude of perspectives.
Norwegian Crafts was originally set up as an online magazine designed
to promote Norwegian craft artists internationally nearly ten years
ago. Since then, the organisation’s programming portfolio has grown to
include exhibitions, grant schemes, seminars, residencies, and much
more. With The Vessel, we hope to entice more people to immerse
themselves in craft, making practices and material culture.
The Vessel collaborates with external editors, artists, and writers to make the content of each issue relevant to people from different geographies and backgrounds. Norwegian Crafts opts to recruit new editors for each issue and leave the commissioning of articles and other content up to them.

The magazine was launched on 5 November 2021 with its first issue Living Archives. See the press release and press images for the launch of the Vessel here.
