Information about the artist / the group

I am Anu Kudjoi, a seamstress and artisan from Imatra. I do custom work, art textiles and my own small Loitsu Creations clothing collection. I work with recycled textiles by sewing and dyeing them with reactive dyes. I also do seamstress work, ie repairs and custom sewing. I work as part of the Cooperative Vuoksen Taitajat, which I also chair.

Using recycled textiles is important to me. Cotton production is already the world's second largest environmental problem. I mainly use old t-shirts and sheets. I make e.g. dresses, skirts, jackets, bags and wall hangings by sewing and dyeing them,

I travel a lot at events with colleagues selling my products and often also performing as the other party of the Korvenloitsu poetry song duo. In addition, I reach customers in my studio, on social medi

Program during Konstrundan

During Konstrundan, batik works and clothes I have made are on display and for sale in the cooperative's studio. During the weekend, I work normally.
