Spångossen Per Norén
Many people dream of having the ability to express themselves through craftsmanship, art, or woodwork. Per Norén is one of those who has found expression, form, and joy. Living in an old schoolhouse in Raman, Hälsingland, Per discovered his purpose in woodcarving. Under the artist name Spångossen, he enchants thousands with beautiful images of meticulously detailed wood carvings. Some may envy his ability to create, but for Per, the meaningful part is making woodcarving accessible to everyone. We meet him during a spooncarving course outside the Axe Museum in Gränsfors.
