Information about the artist / the group

I am a craftsman from Laukaa and one of my workspaces is located at home, the other in the premises of the artist community of the Laukaa art studio (Laukaan taideateljeet). I implement various works with mixed techniques, both on order and from my own need for implementation. At home, I focus on working with wood and metal, and in the studio I implement more projects related to sewing and painting. My passion is especially the circular economy, creating the old into new and giving extension of time to various consumables in different forms. I also cooperate with theaters regarding staging, props, costumes and masking. I love modding and personalizing accessories and consumer goods to make them more suitable for the user, problem solving and visualization are my strengths.

Program during Konstrundan

My studio is open during the Konstrundan weekend. The studio sells various products, prints and original works and accessories. In addition, you get to get to know the theater props more closely. In the WELL, BUT THIS COULD BE... -workshop, especially children and young people get to realize themselves, see things with new eyes and get to know the principles of the circular economy at a low threshold.
