I am craft enthusiastic and I have studied many different crafts in my life.
More about me and my education, you can find from my CV . I made these webpages while I was in WordPress course and I haven’t had much time to update this. But feel are free to scroll and find out who I am. I’d rather knit than update webpages.

Currently I work at organization called Taito Pirkanmaa. It is located the heart of the Tampere city, in Crafthouse Verkaranta.

Taito Pirkanmaa is part of national organization called Taito. In Finnish, Taito means skill, or that you have a skill. Our aim to teach crafts and keep the tradition of crafts and craftsmanship alive. We have courses in different kinds of crafts for everyone and we have own craft school that offers basic art education in crafts for kids and adults. Also we have weaving studios where people can come to make nice textiles such as carpets, towels etc.

I teach crafts, especially weaving but also ceramics, sewing and spinning yarn.
Making rugs is traditional craft in Finland. Finnish Crafts Organization Taito works widely with weaving and other crafts around Finland.
