CREATORS

* Hanna Ingrid Elisabet Jobs (Swedish, 1914–1995)  - designer
The youngest of eight children, Hanna Ingrid Jobs was affectionately nicknamed “Gocken” by her family. She was born in 1914 in the Swedish-province Dalarna. In 1930 she enrolled at the Tekniska Skolen in Stockholm where she studied illustration and ceramics, graduating in 1935. After schooling, she designed for her sister’s firm Jobs Ceramics and Textiles in Stockholm and later for her brother Peer’s textile press Jobs Handtryck (est. 1944). Throughout the 1930s, Gocken with her sister Lisbet displayed ceramics and textiles at world fairs including in Paris (1937), New York (1939), and San Francisco (1939). Gocken also exhibited in the important exhibitions <em>Svensk form</em> (1942) and <em>När skönheten kom till byn</em> (1945) which were central to establishing the Swedish Modern Design movement.
* Jobs Handtryck (Swedish, est. 1944)  - manufacturer
Established by Peer Jobs (1913-1989) in 1944, this Dalarna-based textile press specialized in manufacturing designs by Peer’s sisters Lisbet Jobs (1909-1961) and Ingrid “Gocken” Jobs (1914-1995). The press also collaborated with Leksand’s Handicrafts Association (Leksands Hemsljödsforening). As of 2019, the press operates out of Västanvik, Sweden.
