The book Mynd og hand has now seen the light of day—a captivating journey through six decades in the history of the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts. Originally known as the School of Handicrafts, it quickly became one of the country’s most important institutions in the fields of education, art, and design.
The book paints a vivid picture of the school’s diverse role from 1939 to 1999. It was at once a teacher training college, a school of applied arts and design, a fine arts academy, and also a venue for practical instruction for aspiring farmers as well as young people with disabilities. Nor should one forget the popular leisure courses that each year drew large numbers of children and adults alike.
Richly illustrated, the book captures the atmosphere of the school’s work and daily life.
