Information about the artist / the group

I'm Viivi Takala. My studio is located in Sodankylä in the yard of my home, I built it at the end of the yard building to replace the old sauna. I'm interested in many techniques, so I'm doing things here where I can happily combine my skills.

I make bird themed mini quilts; the threads are wool, the nose and legs are welded from old iron nails. I make nature-themed paper decorations from recycled material, in which Finnish wild berries are represented. My watercolors are mosaic-like, colorful and the subjects deal with everyday life and nature. I print cards, posters and stickers from my paintings.

My products have been granted the Made in Finland sign and can be found in the online store katalaviivi.fi

Program during Konstrundan

I present my facilities and tools and works in different stages. You can also see my original paintings on site. Possibility to buy products.
