Information about the artist / the group

I am Taveämmi, a craftswoman and Master shoemaker from Inari. I value and respect our pure nature, traditional reindeer husbandry and the handicraft materials they offer. I make modern pieksu boots and other products from leather, reindeer fur and felt - mainly after custom order. I have recently opened the Arctic Craft School, through which I also guide others to new and ancient techniques and handicraft skills.

Program during Konstrundan

During Konstrundan, I will tell visitors who come to our workshop about my work, as well as the tools, techniques and materials I use for making a handicraft product. There will be also a few finished products that they can see and, if they wish, buy them or custom order other products.
