Just hop on a boat. Bring your curiosity, your crew, your playful spirit.
The rest will meet you at the shore.
Just 30 minutes from the city center, Fjäderholmarna has long been a beloved summer escape for locals. Now, with a growing community of artists, makers, and creative hosts, it’s becoming something new.
While Stockholmers still call it Fjäderholmarna, we’re pretty sure you’ll find Craft Island the more honest name.
And let’s be real, it’s a lot easier to pronounce, too.
A place to slow down, try something by hand, and feel the joy of making. Whether you’re joining a pottery circle, taking a yoga + weaving retreat, or just exploring the studios and swimming rocks, getting here is part of the magic.
