Tim Mårtenson - The scandinavian feather artist

Tim Mårtensons work is currently shown in the exhibition Feathers http://www.varldskulturmuseerna.se/en/varldskulturmuseet/ongoing-exhibitions/feathers/the-plume-maker/

Tim Mårtenson is currently Scandinavia's only plume maker. In his workshop the knowledge legacy, material and tools of Hilda Ahnfeldt continue to live on.

In 1879 Hilda Ahnfeldt founded Sweden's largest and perhaps only plume factory, at a time when feathers and plumes were the highest fashion.Like his predecessor Hilda, Tim Mårtenson is self-taught, since there is no formal training available. Through a passionate interest, curiosity and perseverance he has learnt the trade. Today he teaches and creates feather pieces, working for the royal court, theaters, opera houses, production companies, artists as well as private individuals. In "Feathers" you will find objects from Hilda's time as well as, for example, ongoing or completed works.
