Take home more than a souvenir — take home something you made yourself, from the materials of the Arctic wilderness. This hands-on Lappish handicraft workshop is led by a local guide and uses authentic natural materials: soft reindeer leather, naturally shed antlers, aromatic Nordic wood and other elements drawn from Lapland's rich cultural heritage.
Whether you create a keychain, a bookmark or another decorative piece, the process connects you directly to the traditions of the Sámi and Lappish peoples and the natural world they have always worked with. Suitable for all skill levels — this is not about perfection, it's about the making. Set in our Safari House with views toward the Ylläs fells, with local berry juice served throughout the workshop.
Perfect for families, couples and solo travellers. Minimum 4, maximum 8 participants.
