I would like to live in a world where people would give more value to the things they own. Things would not be bought and consumed in need of instant gratification, but to be used and cherished for many years to come. <\/em> As a craftsman and a jewelry designer I want to pay tribute to the traditional skills of craftsmen of the past generations and pass on their legacy<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m a professional craftsman and a jewelry designer from Finland. Due to my education I have the basic skills in traditional metalwork, textiles, woodwork and tanning. My specialty is working with bone and cowhorn. I have a passion for historical jewelry from Iron Age to Renaissance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I started my journey in crafts in Myn\u00e4m\u00e4ki Art and Craft College in 2008, where I spent 6 years studying Ancient Craft Techniques and Metal Arts. After this I moved to Lahti to study Jewellery Design. I graduated from LAB University of Applied Sciences with a bachelor’s degree in Jewelry Design in 2020. The main objective of my thesis<\/span><\/a> was to find out how to interpret the aesthetics of Renaissance to small scale serial production of jewelry using 3D modelling and traditional wax methods. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

After my Bachelor’s i deepened my knowledge in traditional goldsmith’s techniques in Koulutuskeskus Salpaus in Lahti. After graduating I worked in Kultakeskus Oy for two years as a gold\/silversmith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My workshop <\/span>Muinaispaja Kiertelev\u00e4 Kettu<\/span><\/a> (Wandering Fox Ancient Crafts) produces jewelry, wooden handicraft equipment and other curiosities inspired by history. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’m also into living history and play in the medieval bands\u00a0R\u00e4ikk\u00e4<\/span><\/a> and Kirkonrotat. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pid\u00e4n vanhoista esineist\u00e4. Jos maailma olisi sellainen kuin haluaisin, esineill\u00e4 olisi niin paljon arvoa, ett\u00e4 niit\u00e4 korjattaisiin ja vaalittaisiin, jopa vuosikymmeni\u00e4. En haluaisi tuottaa maailmaan enemp\u00e4\u00e4 turhaa kr\u00e4\u00e4s\u00e4\u00e4, vaan valmistaa kauniita, merkityksellisi\u00e4 ja hy\u00f6dyllisi\u00e4 esineit\u00e4. K\u00e4sity\u00f6l\u00e4isen\u00e4 ja muotoilijana haluan kunnioittaa menneiden aikojen mestareita ja v\u00e4litt\u00e4\u00e4 eteenp\u00e4in heid\u00e4n perinto\u00e4\u00e4n.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olen koulutukseltani muinaistekniikan ja metallin artesaani sek\u00e4 korumuotoilija-kultasepp\u00e4. Kiinnostukseni historiallisiin pukuihin ja esineisiin on johdattanut minut innostuneesta harrastajasta k\u00e4sity\u00f6n ammattilaiseksi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Valmistuin korumuotoilijaksi LAB-ammattikorkeakoulusta vuonna 2020. Opinn\u00e4ytety\u00f6ss\u00e4ni<\/span><\/a> tutkin renessanssikorujen muotokielt\u00e4 ja sen soveltamista nykymenetelmin valmistettavaan pukukoruun. Kev\u00e4\u00e4ll\u00e4 2020 aloitin kultasep\u00e4nalan opinnot Lahdessa t\u00e4ydent\u00e4\u00e4kseni viel\u00e4 osaamistani korualalla. Vuonna 2022 p\u00e4\u00e4sin tavoitteeseeni, valmistuin ja sain ensimm\u00e4isen vakituisen ty\u00f6paikkani Kultakeskus Oy:lt\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Artesaaniopintojeni ansiosta minulla on perustaidot muinaisista k\u00e4sity\u00f6tekniikoista: kivikautisten ty\u00f6kalujen valmistamisesta, tekstiili- ja puut\u00f6ist\u00e4, valamisesta, taonnasta, luu- ja sarvit\u00f6ist\u00e4 sek\u00e4 nahanparkituksesta. Olen erikoistunut lehm\u00e4nsarven ty\u00f6st\u00e4miseen ja muinaiskorujen valmistamiseen. Olen kiinnostunut erityisesti koruhistoriasta rautakaudelta renessanssiin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Olen toiminut k\u00e4sity\u00f6yritt\u00e4j\u00e4n\u00e4 vuodesta 2014. Muinaispaja Kiertelev\u00e4 Kettu<\/a> on pieni verstaani, jossa valmistan muinaisia k\u00e4ytt\u00f6esineit\u00e4 sek\u00e4 historiasta ammentavaa pronssi- ja hopeakorumallistoa. Valmistan puusta, luusta ja sarvesta historiallisia k\u00e4sity\u00f6v\u00e4lineit\u00e4, mm. kinnasneuloja, v\u00e4rttin\u00f6it\u00e4, ny\u00f6rihaarukoita ja -kiekkoja sek\u00e4 sarvinappeja ja neulakoteloita.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Harrastan my\u00f6s historianel\u00e4v\u00f6itt\u00e4mist\u00e4 ja soitan keskiaikaista musiikkia R\u00e4ikk\u00e4<\/span><\/a>– ja Kirkonrotat -yhtyeiss\u00e4.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
