Studying in Sweden

We just got an e-mail from Mai Kumon, a 3rd year student who is now studying at HV Skola (Sweden).

Third year students at KTS have the opportunity to study abroad via exchange programs at HV Skola (Sweden) and Kuopio Academy of Design (Finland).

"It is now -17 degrees celsius even in the daytime, and has been snowing heavily since yesterday. At school, we have started making our carpets and right now I am testing the weave density. I am sending a photo of my design and the loom."
