description: "Carin Helena Wästberg (1859–1942) was a Swedish textile artist who helped to revive interest in textile arts in Sweden inspired by local peasant techniques and the developments she had seen in England. As its leader from 1904, she developed the Friends of Handicraft association into the country's top textile producer, creating a new production technique in collaboration with Maja Sjöström. Under her leadership, the association produced many notable works for public buildings in Stockholm, including those she herself designed in 1915 for the Stockholm Court House."
