The art collective P.A.N.G. believe in collaboration and consists of eleven professional practitioners in art embroidery and textile art. The members have diverse backgrounds, education, and experiences, but they are united by the desire to give needle and thread a prominent place in both the art world and public spaces. The group's vision is to be a dynamic network for professional practitioners within embroidery and textile art.

During Stockholm Craft Week, the textile art collective P.A.N.G visits Tensta Konsthall with the exhibition Nålsöga (Eye of the Needle). Drop-in embroidery sessions will be arranged in connection with the opening and closing receptions. Join in and create a textile work together with the artists! "We work with the softest and the strongest, the hardest and the most fragile. Thin threads and small stitches that create supporting structures. Through the eye of a needle, we invite others to see each other and ourselves in textile images and forms. What do we share, what do we carry? Our collective strength is needle and thread; everything else we discover together."

Drop-in embroidery is organized in collaboration with Kvinnocaféet, in conjunction with the opening and the closing finissage for the textile exhibition "Nålsöga" (The eye of the needle). Join to create a textile piece on the theme "Peace Love & Understanding." The artists behind the exhibition will set up a table covered with sheets and some embroidery hoops. Embroider freely, chat, and help each other. Feel free to ask for a technique demonstration; there is no right or wrong.

Together with P.A.N.G embroidery collective Konsthantverkscentrum arrange a workshop in free embroidery for children aged 6-13. On the theme Peace, Love & Understanding conversations that inspire friendship, love, peace and understanding of each other's differences, are held. Each participant receives a frame with stretched fabric and access to a varied range of textile materials such as thread and pieces of fabric for application and more. Stitches, different techniques, and methods are introduced to help creating a textile image. Sewing accessories such as scissors, needles and the like are available to borrow. Participants get to keep their art piece.
