Top Finland Craft Classes

We had a magical afternoon with my 7-year-old son, busy drawing and painting with beautiful glass feathers in a cozy atmosphere. Jouni demonstrates and explains things incredibly well (my son speaks Finnish, but Jouni also communicates very well in English). He was able to help us improve our creations. He didn't hesitate to give my son a little help only when needed, while actively involving him in the entire creative process. We left with lovely gifts and the desire to return.

We had a great time with family. In a warm, calm and relaxing environment.

When you come to Rovaniemi it's all about the Winter Wonderland experience! For me it is not only to discover the beautiful countryside and feel the beauty of Lapland, but also having a cozy evening and spending a good time with friends. Elves Event really knows how to make you feel home away from home! As soon as you entre and change from your snow-boots to the cosy socks, you feel like staying forever. The atmosphere with the music in the background, the little treads they provide you makes this stays like spending time at your friends place. But the best part about this event is, that you are creating your own candle. There are five different flavors you can choose from, I went for the vanilla one. Now, as I am back from my wonderful stay in Rovaniemi, I love to light up my vanilla-candle which brings me immediately back to the feeling of "watching outside of the window, marvel at the white landscape while sitting inside holding a warm cup of tea in your hand". If you wanna stay home away from home, go and check out Elves Event!

Elves Event… I am crushing on them. They are stuck in my mind; I wish I could go back as soon as possible. When I attended their event, they listened to all of our wishes and communicated well with us, the staff were like rays of sunshine and the atmosphere was legendary. There is no other word for it. Elves Event worked like a stress relief for me, my mind wasn’t going all around, I was living in the moment.“You can close your eyes to the things you don’t want to see, but you can’t close your heart to the things you don’t want to feel.” Johnny Depp

Incredible few hours, it was a nice relaxing experience and we were taught about the symbols and their meaning. Highly recommend as it was a unique experience and we love our keepsakes.

I really loved the craft workshop. I especially appreciated how everything had been thought through down to the smallest details. Just to name a few: the sign and the lantern outside, the theme-appropriate textiles, the reindeer hides on the benches, the careful layout of the tools on the table, the background music, etc.A beautifully executed experience with great quality and style✨ The instructions were very clear, and help was always available when needed. The atmosphere in the workshop was relaxed, calm and unhurried. There was plenty of time to chat, reflect, and work at your own pace. Even though finishing took some time, there was no pressure or rushing.The location was excellent and easy to reach both by car and on foot. The views were stunning, and a special plus for having the workstation set up by the window.Thank you so much! I can warmly recommend this experience 🤎🦌

At the event, a small souvenir of the trip to Lapland is produced. A narrow disc of reindeer antlers is painted. This can be used to make a keychain, a pendant for a leather strap or something with a magnet. It is something for those who want to be creative. Finally, everything is nicely packaged.

I attended a workshop at Arctic Artefact and really enjoyed the whole experience. The setting is beautiful - quiet, a bit remote and surrounded by nature, which immediately puts you in the mood to slow down and focus. The room itself is thoughtfully designed, warm and welcoming, with everything you need laid out and ready to hand.What really struck me was the way the workshop leader shared insights into Sami culture. It wasn't just about making something pretty - it was about understanding the meaning behind the symbols, the stories they carry and how they have been passed down through the generations. This gave the whole experience more depth than I had expected.The materials were of great quality, especially the glass dipping pens we used to paint. They're intuitive and lovely to work with. You can tell that a lot of thought has gone into choosing tools and techniques that respect the tradition while still being accessible to beginners.Overall a very special and well organised workshop - personal, informative and creatively satisfying. Definitely recommendable if you're looking for a more meaningful hands-on experience during your time in Lapland.

Magnet workshop was really well organizided. It was relaxing to work with your own hands and good mindfulness. Magnets were lot of fun to make and we got simple examples what you can do and how.I’m really poor at drawing but even I made pretty cool magnets. This is good memory to take home from Lapland and the best part is that you have made it by yourself. If there is poor weather outside this is a perfect way to spend the day inside.

I went to magnet workshop to do little gifts to my friend. The host had thought the experience thoroughly and made it to be unic one.First he showed us some examples we could make and the we had a chance to practise different lappland marks on paper. It was nice to learn little bit of the original culture of lapland at the same time when we were doing the magnets.Atmosphere was nice and the host did great job teaching us to use ink. And the best part was that we all had really good looking magnets to take home! I can recommend this experience, nice and different!
